Rebuilding transom
 

Having my transom redone and I am thinking of putting a bracket on. Has anyone converted from and outboard transom to a closed in transom and if you have can you post some pics and advantages? Did anyone add a storage compartment there?

Gee I wonder if anyone has ever done this before?? ::)

Go to the gallery and look at mine, you shall see all!! I kepted the I/O engin cover and added a 25 Gal gas tank in there.
I was out voted by the guys that fish with me, they love to cut bait and sit on the cover to jig, so I still have it.

I have not stepped into the digital camera age. We still have not developed the Christmas pictures yet.

Hey Ax, I'm considering doing the same thing. My only question is what did they do about the cap? Did they fab a new piece for the transom or did they just cut the transom section out and blend the sides into the transom?

Axe...you did a major conversion several of us have considered...the guy who did the work...has he got a digital camera?...you're friend the elctronics/computer guru; what's-his-name?...has he got a digital camera?... ???...

He did not cut the whole cap he just cut the back side out and evened it out to the edges. I used AC exterior plywood. I ended up with an extra 5 gallons of resin.
