I appreciate the offer. My dad has a forklift so hanging the motor is going to be cinch. Thank you. My mom and dads place is off Sandbridge Rd (thats where the boat is for now), by MARGIE AND RAYS seafood restraunt. come check out the build when ever you want I will be there all day tomorrow.

Here are some pictures from today. The chase tube fabrication went very smooth. I didnt exactly like drilling a hole through a newly replaced stringer but i'll get over it. The hole drilled through the sringer was drilled slightly larger to allow thickened resin to bed the tube and seal the raw wood. I also took some more pictures with the console in to show my setup.

So here is my new choice of power for my v20!!! what do you guys think? Should I keep the 2 hp on my v20 or put it back on my flat back canoe? LOL!!!

thanks on the scupper info is that an open invite on stopping by and checking out the boat

Mike come by tomorrow. I will pm you my cell number.

I increased the diameter of the two drains on my splashwell and added the one-way scuppers. After one trip, I decided to remove the rubber flaps because they seemed to impede the draining process. When I'm anchored, water runs in and out of my splashwell, but it doesn't seem to cause any problems. With a 20" transom, the water is gonna get in there regardless, and I'd rather have it drain quickly than trickle through the flapper valve. This was the best pic I could find of it.

I cant seem to quit make out that picture. I see the transom ladder and what looks to be like a plastic bottle of some sort?

click on the pic...... it's a drill with a holesaw

I see it now thanks SMOKE

Chase diameter
 

Kracker:

I recommend you dry your rigging thru that chase before you mount the deck. It looks relatively small in the pics with several 90 degree corners that may makes rigging a real pain. Especially if your going to use mechanical steering!

Keep up the good work.
