We’re getting closer. Transom is done , we’ve laid out our lines for the bracket…within the coming week we will have bracket mounted and engines hung !!! Added panels on the inside of the bilge to mount all the pumps. Will be much cleaner

Stainless bracket mounted …also installed the custom aluminum plate on the inside of the transom for full weight distribution….this thing is going to be badass when finished. Just making an amazing boat better !!!
