Awesome! Maybe I’ll remove swim platform and add kicker bracket to the port side. I was also thinking of getting a kicker without a roller and adding a dual binnacle to control it from ... snags your thoughts on that?
Gotcha! I know, I took a gamble on buying this boat with holes in the cap and open joints I wasn’t positive no water ever got in. When we removed engine they drilled a test hole in the transom and came out with dry clean wood! Was very happy to see that and then have it all sealed up.
I replaced mine last week. It was corroded really bad. We removed motor, fiberglassed over the joints under the cap to completely seal the Transom and replaced with a stainless steel piece. Came out great.
