[QUOTE="Gashauler, post: 503712, member: 34533"] So a couple things I noticed. The transom I took out looked like a 2x6 so I bought another one (messed up and bought 2x10). I’m hoping this will work. I can cut down the board to fit but I’m noticing a definitive leaning towards plywood from everyone. I’m on a budget and really want to put it back the way it was when I was growing up so I’m going to go with mint green on the outside stripe at the top and forest green on the interior floor and wood. The 25 hp merc is actually the second motor. Dad and I were tooling across a backwater lake of the Illinois river headed out to the river at wide open throttle on an 18hp evinrude when he hit a submerged stump and messed it up so bad it wasn’t worth fixing so he put the 25 on it. The boat might be a 14’ I’ll have to measure it later this week. [/QUOTE]
