[QUOTE="Rat, post: 116846, member: 1914"] Does the transom need to be rebuilt? Check that out good as well; if it does you can rebuild it to handle that long shaft motor better. When enclosing a fuel tank you will need to make sure and allow for venting of the locker. All composite fuel tanks are permeable, which allows fuel vapors to form in the sealed compartment, which could lead to an explosion. Go by the Coast Guard regulations and you will be safe. The last thing you want is a sealed compartment explosion when you turn on your bilge pump! I have never used the brackets, but can you bend them to get them to fit? Maybe you can add a piece of square tubing to the top of your ribs that's the right size and then fasten the brackets to that. Looks like a good project, that's about the same size as my hull; she is also a retired duck hunter. [/QUOTE]
