[QUOTE="ober51, post: 93826, member: 1354"] I had to do three pieces actually. Unless I wanted to take out the transom bracket, which I didnt want to do. It looks nice, and the thickness of mine was 1.25", so I used 2 pieces of 5/8ths with came to 10/8 = 1.25. It was a snug fit, but that's good, and I used a block of wood and then hit it with a sledge lightly and it went in. I put the middle piece in first, got that semi in, then put on of the corners in, then knocked the middle into place, and that basically put the one side into place. Then when that was in place, I had to put the third piece in, but I had to cut a bit off, I think an inch actually, to get it to fit in. It was a good fit in the end. I put some waterproof glue in between the three pieces. I then drilled my holes, used all SS hardware, and sealed the holes with 3M 5200. Ill go take pics hold on. Also remember that I will be building up the transom, so above that bracket there will be some additional bolts, washers, nuts. I think it came out well, pretty sweet so far. Now for more bad news, still can't register the boat in NJ!! I now need the previous owner's registration...he lives in Connecticut, and never registered the boat. I asked the NJ DMV, they said CT will issue some paperwork detailing that. I called CT, and they said for $20 I can request a registration history on the boat (which he ran for me to tell me what it will come back as, and said it will be blank, since it was a CT state fishing boat) and that will be fine for NJ. I am skeptical, and beginning to think this boat is just not meant to be. I am going to get that boat tomorrow, so I can have a boat for the summer. Crazy? Yes, but I will sell one of these boats when I have to. Really hoping this works itself out - we'll see. So I am not putting another cent into it until I find out if it's going to be alright, you can probably all understand. [/QUOTE]
