Default Ugh just one more challange !

Well one thing I learned so far on this adventure of "Restoring" an old boat is to quote Thomas Edison...


"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work"



After getting the 21 to the dealer to install the engine package I learn that the "old stringer mounts" are to narrow and not tall enough for the " new mounting system".

So he tells me what needs to get done and I go and get the boat.

Normally this is should not be a big deal, but I live on bridge-less barrier island (I know it's tough ) and must take the ferry back and forth. Besides being a PIA getting it on and off it costs extra $$. Oh well the price we pay for our toy's.

So here is the deal.

Transom Cut Out







Thickness 2 1/8



New transom assembly




Mock up of new motor mount





Both sides




Raw glass and epoxy





Paint and looking good again







Next week back to the dealer and hopefully everything will be on track
