Default New Member : Just saying howzit to everybody.

My name is Daniel. I was one of those guys jus lurking around for a while. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] First time posting in any forum, type to slow. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] But any way impressed with the guys that restored there boats with such quality and craftsmanship.
Well after confusing my self [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] Im pretty sure I want to switch to a bracket and an outboard.
Never did any glassing before and all types of fiberglass material got me wondering what to use on the different area and how much. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]Any comments is appreciated.

Thanks Fellowship.
Ive pulled my motor,leg,gas tank,CC. Im praying when I remove the gimble housing and bracket,that the transom is all right.Measured the transom thickness at 2inches thick? Is this commom or overkill?Had a Chevy 305 and Im going for a bracket and 115-150HP out board.Will post pictures as soon as I figure out how. [IMG]http://i5.photobucket

Usually that is approx write most guys use two ¾” thick planks of either plywood or composition materials and then you have the outer and inner wall of the transom which is approx another ½ “ thick.
What boat do you have???? That will help in any conversation.

Welcome Dano to CSC

It's great to have a new member from Hawaii. What kind of fish are those you are holding in your avatar picture, GT's?

Good Luck with your '71 SeaCraft restore [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
