Oh yeah, the notch??? I haven't decided on what I'm going to do there yet. I have thought about going up half way to create a seat/cooler combo type of thing, but I like the easy access to the platform as I plan on using her in and around the barrier islands of the Eastern Shore of Virginia. We can get on and off easier than climbing over a full transom. Just not sure how thats going to pan out yet? Thanks for all the quick response's. I think I will have some custom stainless steel threaded rods made up next door and take the advice of the powers that be here, and lock that whole mess down by extending the bolts all the way thru the transom. I was leaning that way, but wanted to limit my holes in that new transome. The votes are already in, THRU BOLT IT!!!
