Thanks Guys - this satisfys my curiousity.
Jason - check out Chris F's master angler. I believe his MA has an original transom and I don't see the hole on his boat. Weird. Oh Well . . . first piece (3 - 1/2" sheets) of the new marine ply transom went in today. The remaining sheets will go in tomorrow.
John R - I'm sniffing glue at least three times a week as perscribed by Dr. Strickland. The other days I sending out resumes and pounding the pavement looking for work. It's been pretty tough, but the glue sniffing really helps keep my spirits up. The weather is the same everyday, b/w 75 - 85 and sunny. I haven't seen rain in over a month and I hear that I probably won't until November. Luckily June 1st we're moving into a new place with a 2 car garage [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Just in time for the hundred + degree heat.
