[QUOTE="Country Dave, post: 291982, member: 10344"] I spent the morning working on the transom. It’s going to be a full transom not like the ¾ one that came out. I made a template out of some cheep press board. $8.00 at HD. A couple of little tweaks and it fit perfect. Not bad for just making a few measurements, well not bad for me anyway. :LOL2: I wire wheeled the front side of the transom. Look at the deep pitting :cry: JB weld to the rescue. I will sand it down tomorrow night and put on the first coat of self etching primer, a couple good coats of that, then some paint as well. The outside of the transom is getting some 5200 were I closed up a couple of holes in the front with the above mentioned JB weld. :P I’m also going to steel flex the outside of the transom as well as the sponsons and hull bottom. Here is the first piece of 0.125 I cut from the template. Making a little progress. O did I mention I got all of the foam out of the boxes. \:D/ [/QUOTE]
