Ouch!
 

You gotta hate it when you got to drill several large holes in your new transom :( But the controlls have to be installed :) :)

I got my son to come over and give me a hand. He is doing his best Picasso imitation.

Noticed you have the rain fly up, or was it so you could work in the shade? Billy Mac ;D

Re: Ouch!
 

Started this morning partly cloudy. Then along came a good shower >:(, but I am on a mission so I threw up the tarp. Right now the V is still covered in anticipation of tomorrows ugly weather :(.

Re: Ouch!
 

The weather map looks nasty for you guys on the East coast. Your project looks really nice. I would think, and there I go again thinking, that the gas bulb would be easier to get to if it were on the out side? Billy Mac ;D

Re: Ouch!
 

Once I get the engine going again it wont be a problem. The motor has always been an easy starter (usually 1 or 2 oumps on the bulb) and I have to go into the enclosure any way to turn on the battery switch.

Re: Ouch!
 

Looking good there. ;)

Re: Ouch!
 

Its just WRONG to pay all that cash for a perfect transom then have to put a drill to it! >:(

But I know how it is, I had to drill mine also!!

Looks Good!! ;)

Re: Ouch!
 

It caused great pain when I started the drilling But then I thought about the end product. But it still hurt. ;D

Re: Ouch!
 

My heart fell watching you drill those holes. But your doing a fine job.

Nice crew you got helping you.

Re: Ouch!
 

My biggest enjoyment was drilling holes in my neighbors braanndd new Nitro. He was speechless thru the entire fitting. 10 rodholders, refitting the cooler seat and battery, holes for the depthfinder. It's great encouraging someone else to spend money. Purty 2c, purty.

Re: Ouch!
 

I don't think you used enough plywood in the transom, when you put the triple 300 Yamahas on there it might flex.

Re: Ouch!
 

R'man!!...let's not get carried away now ::) ... a pair of the new Yam 350s get 'er scootin' pretty good ;) ...

Re: Ouch!
 

Lookin good!!! If you dont wanna drill holes in a new transom I will!! Im good at it!! :D

Re: Ouch!
 

Just don't go a drillin below the h2o line please!

Transom looks very strong 2nd - I can't wait till spalshdown!

Re: Ouch!
 

A pair of 350's ;). Can you say Warp drive Scotty ;D. It's almost scary to think about it.

Re: Ouch!
 

looking good........ ;D

did you glue the layers of plywood together??

Re: Ouch!
 

All of the layers have to be laminated together for the transom to be strong.

Re: Ouch!
 

thats what I thought, just askin ;)

Re: Ouch!
 

Why not eight 250's
