Seems to be good and solid. It's nice to move on to other things. I don't really give the transom a 2nd thought. I have though about upgrading the engines. But this run hard and strong so I guess I will wait for a bit.
Raised the original twin 200 hpdi's up a bit.
Wot at 5200rpms 40 mph.
Didn't realize how much I would like having curtains . They were 20 years old and quickly deteriorating. I have just hung new curtains from A&J Canvas. Excited about the upcoming season. Short of the gas price that is.

Nice glass work repair on the transom. Too bad the Scientists at GW didn’t do that in the first place. What material did you use for that bang plate ?

Cant remember the thickness. But it was high grade stainless. I payed $600. For it . The fabricator must of had the stainless on hand. As the material would of cost me that much! Used card board and duck tape as a template. It fit like a glove. Maybe a little over engineered but I felt good about it. As the outboards push against the transom in powering up I liked the idea of distributing the pressure/force. There are some dimensions and shots of it earlier in the thread for those interested.
