No new progress on the transom. The temp. has been 48 to 52 degrees and windy, a wee bit cool for me.
Will put two sheets of 3/4 " plywood back in. Why, the first plywood without any TLC lasted 25 plus years. Plus it is many times cheaper than composits. Will put bolts through the lift eye holes, motor bolt holes, drain holes etc. If necessary will drill additional holes for bolts if needed. Also am considering (in addition to bolts) chaining off 4x4's to the trailer frame and pulling pulling them from the top with a come-along braced inside the boat.
However, am sanding and refinishing all the Teak. What a fun task.
Need one Teak guide (the long ones) for the cutty cabin sliding top.
I am always open to suggestions. Have never done anything like this before. However I did spend the night in a Holiday End Express.
