Thanks. I like the looks of that door. With a scuba tank on my back, a door would make it easier and keep from banging and scratching the heck out of everything trying to get over the transom.
I'm close to finally splashing the boat. Whoever fixed the transom, didn't make it a full 25 inches...it's 23 inches. I had to make new mounting holes to get the AV plate an inch above the keel...and I'm at the last hole on the motor. That's as high as I can get it right now.
I'm using a temporary tank that is in the forward part of the tank coffin with the battery. I'll see how it sits with the weight there and use that as a reference point. I'll make a bracket during the break in then try it out to see how it handles with some 5 gallon pails to replicate the weight of a full tank of fuel. (the temporary is only 15 gallons) Hopefully it will work out. I like the look of the bracket and closed transom.
