[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 393406, member: 15636"] [b][size=5][color=#0000FF]Latest Update ...[/color][/size][/b] Well, life got in the way, and that included taking in two girls (ages 11 & 16) to live with us after a death in the family, so I had tons of other priorities besides working on the boat. But my crew (RDHammah) came by and together we got the transom fitted in and riveted in place! I think the pictures help tell the story, but if you had any questions - ask away. I put 10-24 bolts and nuts, using large fender washers, in at various spots just to hole the positioning of everything. Then I drilled for the rest of the holes. And I will say - EVERYTHING lined up! Sweet! For those who need details, the sealing tape is a 3M closed-cell vinyl foam that Starcraft recommended. All surfaces were prepped and zinc-chromated beforehand. Then the tape lain down, black 5200 applied and then off to riveting we went. I used a $20 Haba Freight air hammer at 75 PSI, with the special brazier head tool and it worked flawlessly.
