transom
 

I have a 20' 1974 Classic. I want to close in the transom. But I have a few problems. 1st I know nothing about how to do it, and 2nd I do not have the facility. Does anyone know someone in the Jupiter area who does this for a living? I would like someone familiar with the process. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Welcome to Classic SeaCraft Christer…..

A member of the board, HermCo, does this type work up in Jensen Beach (also has a link on the home page).....He even has some help from another member here that seems to have quite a bit of knowledge about SeaCraft boats [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Down that way you should have no problems finding someone who has the ability to do this type work .... Just make sure they know what they are doing

Thanks, I will call Hermco on Manday and learn the details about his bolt on system versus a solid transom. Have you closed yours in and how did you do it?

Re: transom
 

Mark, have you used Wildfire marine? What can you tell me about them?

Christer, I sent you a direct email -

No I haven’t ....At least not yet [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

If I do .. The Seamark "Potter" bracket would be the one I would use. I just like everything about it as compared to some others I have seen. Also I personally would put in a full transom and cap ( the boat would look like an inboard model from the inside) and then attach the bracket to the closed transom .....regardless of the bracket manufacturer....

Do a search on transoms and brackets ....there's a ton of info on this board that might help answer some questions you have…..
