Looks like this one not going to happen. My friend backed out on helping with the transom and its just not worth putting the money into it to pay someone to do it. Sorry to disappoint and thanks to those that have offered advice. Let the search begin for a new boat.
Also check out "Bass n Flats" build thread. He did something similar to what you are trying to do. Thread title "official build thread 1752 Lowe". It is a really nice build with lots of pictures to give you some ideas.
Check out beavertail for the pods/sponsons (www.explorebeavertail.com).
Check out www.akmccallumco.com for consoles.
Good luck with the projects and take lots of pictures.
Where is Klein Fabrication and do you have his contact info? I am in the South Houston area and I need to get my transom replaced as well. I am currently waiting on a friend to help me with it but I don't know if or when he will have time to do it. Any info you could give me would be greatly...
Thanks! No I haven't had a chance to work on lately. I'm waiting on a friend of mine to help rebuild the transom. If he isn't able to do it in next week or two I will just have to hire a welder to get it done. I'm ready for this thing to start looking like a boat again.
