Well im about neck deep in the restore and will be posting many pics in the future but im currently trying to decide what to do in the aft of my boat. I cut out the splashwell b/c the transom is enlosed with a bracket. I was thinking about building a box level with transom in between the two jumper seats. I was also considering cutting out the jumper seats and building a box, much like the back of the 23', all the way across the boat level with the transom. If I take this route it will only come out roughly 16" or so. Just putting it out there to see what you guys think. This boat with be a project boat for the seadek website and possibly being going to a few boat shows in the future so I'm have some pretty cool ideas and mods planned.

How did she ride with the bracket on the back? Alot of people do not recommend that because it will dramatically affect the ride.
Can't wait to see the progress. I am restoring mine as well. |

She rode well, the bracket is only 18" so it is fairly small. I like having an enclosed transom though. To compensate for the bracket and larger engine I will be moving the batteries, fuel tank, and center console forward in the boat.

Well I made a little more progress on the boat. I took out the front fishbox and anchor locker so not I can get in a prep sand the inside of the hull and give her a good cleaning. I also cut open the top of one of the stringers to take out all of the old foam. I will be doing the same to the other stringer in the next day or so. When I cut the stringer I left a little lip all the way around so I can set some coosa on it and glass it back to the sides of the stringers. Just wondering if anyone can see any problems with doing it this way. I will keep updating as I go and any tips or ideas are appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Maybe a horizontal "gusset" to prevent the sides from falling...just an observation from past posts. Some support to replicate the cap.
