[QUOTE="Trout Hunter, post: 40372, member: 666"] Ok, old transom is out.... not only was it rotted and punky, but it was broked in one spot right where the motor sat. No wonder it was flexing so bad. :shock: What I came up with was laminated plywood loke many others have done. I am, however, 1/4 inch thinner than the old transom. I now think that I should get a 1/4 inch sheet of plywood and glue that on as well to fill the gap. Do you all think I should do that or just bolt er up and let it go?? Stainless IS expensive..... spent probably $60 on fasteners today. (some of it is for the trailer though.) Ii plan to use the old holes and not drill any new ones in the transom except two where I"ll be bolting the motor on. [/QUOTE]
