Re: Shaft Length
I don't blame you for being anxious to get to the water - these are great boats for sure. *
Kirby, still not sure exactly what you mean by "gaps b/t vertical and horizontal pieces".
Kirby I realize you do not have your motor mounted yet, but a good rule of thumb that alot of these guys on here use to tell if the transom is strong is to stand on the lower unit and bounce the boat up and down. *If you do not hear a bunch of cracking and popping and she doesn't move back and forth you should be fine. *As for when the motor is not on there, you can drill small holes in the transom where the suspected rot is. *If dirty wood comes out, your transom is rotten. *If clean wood shavings come out, should be good to go. *Then of course you have to patch those holes up real good with marinetex, formula 27, or 3M 5200 but at least you'll know whether the wood is good in your transom.
