I have been putting the spar on my transom board so i can install it and take it too the welder. I have done a little work other than that but I found myself going in 10 different directions when I started working on the boat. So I decided to focus on getting the transom put back together so I can get it to the welder.
Here is my plan for the next couple of weeks. I want to have it done or at least fishable by the first of april......
I am going to put the last coat of spar on it today.
Install the transom tomorrow/Sunday Remove stickers...
Take to the welder Monday
When I get it back before I mount the motor I am going to flip it over and paint the bottom.
Check out the trailer and decide if I want to put on new axle springs etc. or If I am going to drop 700 on a new one.
By the 14th I want to have the bottom painted and have the boat sitting on a workable trailer.
So then i will have 2 weeks to put it back together. Floors, carpet, wiring, etc. Also I need to clean up the engine. Replace plugs, impeller, lower unit oil, clean carb.
I am really looking forward to getting it back from the welder So I can start heavy into the putting it back together phase.
Pretty ambitious but I think I can come close.
