[QUOTE="Buckethead, post: 279112, member: 9470"] Badboymonk, I have scoured the Internet for some trying to find another like mine but like yours a 16' is all I could find. Even Duracraft info is non existent. Dave I've been cruising around this site for some time looking at all the projects I could find that are similar to mine, definitely closed cell foam without exception. I only want to do this once. I'm thinking of doing the transom replacement with square aluminum and a high tensile strength foam. I found the link to it on here actually, I wonder if anyone on here has ever tried this. There is a guy in my town that rebuilds fiberglass boats, he's right next door to the guy doing my trailer hubs so I'm going to talk to him and see what he thinks. I'm not ripping on the guys on here who use wood because they've put a lot of work in their boats but I just can't do it. I'm headed for training again for 3 weeks in Sept so if there's a break in the action you'll know why. Buckethead [/QUOTE]
