Sounds like you're in deep now Brywheat! Keep going, people here can talk you through it.

Yes, but we're not real sticklers here. General is fine also. It's more important for us to see/help than to worry about what section the post is made in.

Default Transom Question

Thanks bradford...
Just uploaded pics to photobucket..now just to get them here.

Ok the transom questions
How thick should a transom be with a bracket?
Looks like the original was 2" and has a slight curve

Should 1/4" marine ply flex to the outter skin?
vice versa??
thinking of a 1/4' ply sandwich as follows..

outter skin
glue
1/4" marine ply
let cure to keep the original curve
add mat & 1/4"
glue & keep building up to at least 2.5??
Any input would be great.

so the original floor was raised with poor effort.
2 x 12's where screwed to the original stringers and not glassed, floor also wasnt glassed, good thing i think i can salvage the tank
It has been replaced. From what i understand, the '75 orginally had two saddle tanks??
the line made by the raised floor was even and I'll be going back to that height. I like a self bailing deck, but i will hardly ever leave it in the drink over night so not sure if i rather have the gunwale height or self bailing. mostly trailered from VA beach to South NJ chasing stripers, flounder & cobia

Thumbs up

I got to say, If you're going to do a full on restore that's the type of hull to do it on. Bring one back from the landfill and give her a new life.

Good for you Brywheat!

You might think of removing the cap and doing it all, stringers, bulkheads, raise the deck, new tanks, custom hatches, etc. It would actually be easier to work on if she was opened up. You're gonna "save" a pile of money doing it yourself.

EDIT: Nevermind she's a pre 78. Might be able to get away with leaving the cap on.
