[QUOTE="Popper, post: 225933, member: 7008"] MMF, I purchased an '88 tracker tx-17 last wednesday, and had NO IDEA what I was getting into, and now, thanks to your thread here, I have her gutted, and I'm about to go ahead and tackle my "DUST" transom. Could you possibly throw up some pictures of the locations you cut? Also, what did you use to replace the transom? I'm working in a storage lots parking stall, and have VERY limited access to tools, and the motor is on the boat, and I have no motor stand or hoist. I know you know a thing or two about motors, would it hurt my '88 merc 70 2 stroke if I layed it down inside the boat while I tackled the transom? Your boat looks stellar. Have you noticed any weakness or give in the transom without the welded caps? or are the riveted angle brackets you made up solid enough? thanks a bunch, great bunch of guys on this forum.
