Re: Hammer's transom Rebuild
 

Hammer, lookin really good man. As Bill and Ted would say, "looks most excellent!"

I commend your hard work....don't part it out. I think you could make more $$ just selling it as is! You are learning alot in the process of this too, so keep going is my vote.

Nice work! ;) 8)

P.S. When I first stumbled upon your post I thought this was your V - then I realized it was your freebee ::)

With a new transom and a decent trailer she will sell. The only problem you may have is in our part of the country boat buying season is winding down. Put that boat on the "Bassbarn" for $1000 with a new transom and trailer and she will definetly sell.

Hammer,

I don't know how I have missed it, but this is the first time I looked at this thread.

You are an animal my friend. I am blown away by your work so far.

I may have missed it somewhere in all this, but have you thought about making this a full transom boat and putting on a bracket?

It couldn't be that much more work and you would have your dream V.

Re: Hammer's transom Rebuild
 

of course he has thought about it. Lefty just wont let him spend the money on a bracket ::)













just kidding Mike ;D

Knocked in a quick 2x4 so the new work will keep its shape. I managed to mark out the second piece, but I started not feeling right in the heat. I just managed to make it home and cool down in the shower. This is a bad heat wave we are in. Hope to have more done next week. Still hoping to get some free resin. Lefty is watching every penny. :-/
