Default Re: another transom job in the works -

Bill you are putting me to sleep with all that darn engineer talk [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Just put it back together and I'm sure it will be fine....A buddy of mine is a structural engineer and a while back I asked him how I should go about testing an engine bracket that I built. His reply was bolt it to a wall and then put double the weight you anticipate it to bear and then jump up and down on it for a while and if it does not crack then you will be ok. This guy was on the discovery channel for some engineer competition thing and his team won [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] I like your boat and hope to find one like it some day over here on the left coast. Good luck.
