You can put the bracket any were you want no need for a new one. As for the height, I believe it is up 1 inch for every 12 inch of set back. I did not do it with mine I just went to the 25 line and was fine. But you must use a 25" shaft and use the smallest set back you can for the best fit. I had a 28" set back and it was nice to tilt a V6 all the way up, but after a few others have converted theres we found that the best way is to use a smaller set back, but your is fine cause you can't change it any way. Keep up the good work, can't wait for the finish.

How long do you think it will take for a piece of ply to dry out fully after it was soaked in rain water for a day? I didnt get hom eto put my crappy boat cover on before it rained and i had a unglassed side bulkhead glued in. it held a pool of water for a good day. Im kinda stressin about it considering i dont have a 100% waterproof cover on the boat. I wish i had a car port type thing to work in. its killing my progress.

Ben, pick up a 12 x 24 blue tarp at walmart. That is what I use and it is completely dry. However I have my windshield sticking up which allows the water to run off the bow and stern since it is the high point. I'll try to put up a pic. I've had the boat for 4 years and I'm on my 3rd blue tarp. They last a little over a year before they start to leak. I think they are around $25 and fit nicely.
Sure I'd love to have a custom cover, but they are $$$$$$. P.S. Put a fan on that wet ply...should help it dry faster.

Dry time will depend on heat/humidity/wind...BR's suggestion on the fan is a good one, but it shouldn't be a problem after it dries out unless it swells up and the ply delaminates...if it got THAT wet, you probably should replace it...
You can also refer to classicseacraft.com for lots of projects and general fiberglass info there, plus we got some of the best right here on this board as well You're doin' some GREAT work there, Ben...you may not have started an expert, but you'll be one when she's done!!...THANKS for sharing w/us...great pics!!...

Layers of Glass?
Hey,
Yor boat looks awesome ! I started redoing my 75 cuddy v20 I am handy but I never did a transom and only used fiberglass one other time. I am curious how many layers of cloth did you use on the inner skin of your new transom? also what weight cloth? I am about to get all the stuff I need 105 & 205 & 404 West system, just not sure about the cloth. Also curios about how many gallons of resin did you need on your transom? I sent some pics. Thanks
