Tried to insert transom yesterday and found that the old piece was bowed. The straight piece did NOT want to go into the already tight as heck gap between back of boat and knee braces. Soooo I improvised. I wedged one side in and then angled the other down and used a big screw driver to pry the other side into place all without doing any damage to the board. The new painted transom took a few scratches that I can touch up easy enough. I noticed the knee brace holes to go through at an angle so glad I didnt lay old transom on new and drill holes.Shop bending new trim got 2 of the pieces done. The top trim and inside transom to motor protection. The outside piece is being made today. Cost to have trim made was about 130. The pictures show the inside motor transom trim piece on the outside so I could take a picture. The top trim need to be bent to the transom. I will shape it on the old one so as not to damage paint on new one. I bought a map torch and got all the stainless hardware to bolt it back together. I getting close now. Maybe 2-3 more days. Weather here has turned nice for the last few days. It is 70f today and the snow is mostly melted. Other boaters are catching trout on the lake and I want to get out there.[ATTACH=full]119893[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]119894[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]119895[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
