Scott:

I picked & picked at the plywood where
I had made the holes . The ply didn't pull
apart so I glassed the holes back over. With
the motor on the boat I stood on it and
jumped up and down. Nothing moved but the fat
around my middle. So I think it will be fine
for a few more years [4]. IS your boat 20 or
23'? I only ask because I see a 200 on the
stern. Alot of motor for a 20. I saw a new
2002 ***** boat that had its 200 yam. torn
off by another boat. NO wood at all in the
stern just 3/16 glass inside -foam -3/16
glass on the outside. So what I getting at
is try jumping on your motor and see what
happens. IF you can flex it--replace--if it
dosen't your good for a few more yr's. Just
keep your eye on it and no jack rabbit starts
out of the hole. Not that you would no one
does that. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
