Are you planning on sealing the exposed wood in the transom as well as apply a fresh coat of bilge paint on the bilge floor? I'd seal everything and want it looking as close to new as possible after going through all the effort of amassing parts and spending the coin to install.

I would do this now before you get all rigged up, some of those pics make it look like the wood edges at the cutouts have not been sealed with glass. Also have them pull the exhaust tips and check to make sure those holes are sealed as well. It was the exhaust tips on my Velocity that leaked and riuned the transom. Simple and cheap to do now, it's a ***** later, just ask Hyper.

This is what I like, Very good point. Yes we are going to put a couple coats of all grip on the bottom of the bildge and seal the exposed wood. Thanks for the input.

Hi RaggedEdge, Another good point, I let them know this morning to not leave any exposed wood unattended. Last thing I want is the change out a transom. Thanks for the input.

Exposed wood seal it up or you will be hating life later.

Hyper it's good know someone that can fix mine if I need'em I'm looking for a place to store my boat this winter, Just can't decide if it will be the paint shop or the upholster shop.

You can always bring it to Delaware and store it in our shop,three of them in one building would be pretty cool.

Well VV, I fired mine up on my Dyno today. Little embarassed about the stained transom, but the wifey didn't come straight home with the cleaner like I told her to! Just Kidding!

Not finished rigging it out yet. Need some different AN fitings an make/buy a bracket for the MSD.
