I got mine the same height as the ribs seems to be working out good so far.

Yea teak would be great. I did use mahogany which has held up great. It was installed about 2 years ago

I have been using mine for only a year, but they have been good for me so far.

Yeah i was thinking about $250 to $300 or so, seeing that i will have to put some money into it to get it back to running. And mike it does get cold around here in the winter it can get down in the teens or even lower.

alright got around today and buttoned up the transom. Didn't take but a couple of hours. Glad we got some warmer weather so i could get that part of the build done. Ended up using alot of the original hardware on the transom and used new stainless steel bolts everywhere else, and threaded...

Hey i have a opportunity to purchase a 1990 yamaha 9.9, tiller, 4 stroke, electric start. It hasnt been started in about 3 years. It has been on the transom of a boat out in the elements for about 5 years. It ran when parked. The owner of the motor is a friend so i believe him about it running...

I paid $400 for the motor. it is in great shape cranks and runs good, and it came with a 5 gallon tank. Probally could have found a better deal if i could have waited. You know how the prices go up a little in the spring and summer months.

Hey thanks for all the kind words. Ictalurus she is about 40 in wide on the floor and the gunnels it is 53 in. at its widest point. Its not a super wide boat but it will be more than enough for me. I plan on adding a deck all the way back to the first bench adding a platform seat and then...

Here is a pic showing how short the trailer is.

Thanks for the comments and Oh yeah it will be making its way to varner, hard labor, and probally fort yargo. one of the concerns i had was the trailer. I hope to be adding about 3 or so feet to the tongue to be able to get the bunks to the transom.

Its Sepele Mahagony.
