[QUOTE="Whidbeyboater, post: 512637, member: 35394"] Thanks for the idea and picture on the splash well. I will have to do some thinking on how to do this but this makes perfect sense. This boat definitely never had anything like this on the the transom has no drainage holes. As for some of the other questions it definitely had a hook to the hull that looked to me to be from the heavy engine and kicker set up with no support. I pounded out the hook dents from the inside. I will be adding in some sort of support structure once the transom of back in for good. The wood that looks like MDF is MDO board. It’s a thermoset resin board they commonly use for signs and concrete forms. Based on what I found it is more water resistant than marine ply and similar strength. The transom is a 3/4 and 1/2 epoxied together coated with 2 layers of epoxy. Floors are the same material coated with epoxy. I will post up some more pics in a few days. Working to prep and paint the interior and finish my framing so I can start installing the floors and getting things back together. [/QUOTE]
