use a bracket mount that lets the engines x dimension change to get the best set-up. Pad hulls can be sensitive.

Default Started some work decided on plans

Cut out rear seats and also cut the cap and removed to access transom. Just getting around to it so I should have weekly updates going forward hopefully.

I also started cutting out those rear knees that tie transom to the bulk head so I could remove the rest of transom but my tools died. I should have that grinded back to raw glass by tomorrow. And then probably a good pressure wash.

But I will make some templates of the knees before removal and then I can focus on the bulkhead and the transom templates then I’ll go and get some coosa and Mat and I’m using vinyl ester resin. Was going to use epoxy but i prefer the lay of the vinyl ester. But I will be using epoxy glue to lay transom on hull and clamped and chucked throughly.
