[QUOTE="smackdaddy53, post: 333499, member: 10154"] Well it looks like my image sharing problem came from updating my forum app and image sharing was turned off. I must be getting old! Here are the pictures of the latest developments on the pole dancer. She is looking sexy to me! I will be wire wheeling that crappy jonboat spotty barnacle crusted green off soon after I get the top of the pods, tunnel and transom perimeter TIG welded now that I got her right side up again. Here is the tunnel cut out and 2"x6" tubing reinforcement riveted in place. It doubles as a transom stiffener, keeping the bottom of the transom from flexing when trailering and running the motor (when that day comes)...
