[QUOTE="Jdholmes, post: 240225, member: 6982"] I have heard of negative effects coming from liner on the outside of the boat. The general argument against it seems to be that it will increase drag - you want the bottom of the boat as smooth as possible. Your transom will be fine at the width you've used...as stated just make sure it is well sealed...not everybody uses fiberglass, though that is an option. Many of us use several coats of spar urethane and use 5200 to seal the holes when inserting the bolts. Framing can be either wood or aluminum - aluminum being the lighter but more expensive option. If you use wood 2x2's are good for framing and 1/2 inch ply is plenty for a floor providing you have done well with the framing. Rivets or bolts...doesn't matter. [/QUOTE]
