It would be nice to do away w/all the weight of the original bracket if you can...and you can lengthen the shaft two ways...find a spacer or a longer mid-section...either way will get the job done...

so no bracket. and build the transom to a 25 inch transom? Sounds like a winner to me. I was kinda pushing away from the bracket. I can use it to sell and fund more of my project!!or use it to sell and fund the cost of the mid section.

     Demo went good today,only took me an hour to demo the floor circular saw really does a dosey on the floor and makes it it a cinch to remove, just set the depth and start cutting. As you can see in the pics I cut the floor up to the step and recess which used to be the entrance to the cuddy. What my plans are for that is to glass the step up flush and make it a storage with a drain hole with a removable hatch. I kept the other fish boxes so i can prep them and use them when I set up my new floor and glass them in. I can tell that this build is gonna be a blast!!!!! All comments and recommendations are welcome.

      [IMG]Well I removed the old transom today.And started prepping it for replacement. I highly recommend anyone doing this kind of job to purchase the sanding disc like the one I have on my grinder, I t makes quick work for prepping the transom. I have some questions for you guys, Should I lay up some mat on the transom before i laminate the first piece of ply ? should I just roll the resin on factory skin and then laminate? Or should I thicken resin then trowel on and then laminate? I have read that all methods have been used, Im just looking for the strongest.

For my money you can leave it right here...this is GREAT!!...if this work ain't on point,I don't know what is... Keep it up!!...gonna be fun to watch... If I can make another suggestion...my old '74 had the single drain hole centered in the splashwell as yours does...while you are about making improvements, you might think about closing that up and putting two drain holes to each side of the motor...the 1st motor I had on that boat blocked that center location and was a constant PIA...that was the subject of my 1st post here in 2003...MacoJoe jumped my a$$ and said JUST DO IT!!...
