every one of them are spot on too. Note that they look even better in person!!

Thanks guys!

Ah, the power caulk gun....may have to get one as I sand, think of my tired arms and see those 10 tubes of caulk waiting on me to squeeze them into 1/4 inch grooves.

Thanks folks! My arms are tired as I get ready to hit it today again.

Bill, what's a power gun?

Lots of polishing....and sanding!

ok, thanks folks! great input on the 3m. I found it pretty cheap on amazon.

I ready 10 tubes somewhere, does that seem right?

Since I can get one day delivery, i might try 8 tubes and order more if needed.

PB, there may not be enough distance for you! JK, come on !

I'm finally getting back to my boat pictures and my deck is in danger of needing seams, silkaflex or resin with whitening compound to handle the south Texas sun? What are folks preferences? I have read Sikaflex 295 UV. good stuff?

I went with 3/4" seat back and bottoms for the same reasons as above. They're going to be used by people of all sizes to climb in and out of the boat!

I installed my transom as per the plans and do not have any issues with interference from the exhaust either. I did cut the inside plywood prior to gluing the camber boards and the remaining transom together, it was easier to do at that point. Don't forget to seal all that wood while its easy to get...

I hate to pay the g...

Here are some progress pics. I have no idea why this is upside down!

thanks Tom,
according to my engine supplier, forward position (toward flywheel) is forward, and back (away from the flywheel) is reverse.

I got it right!

Thanks everyone, more good news is that the neutral cut off switch (cant start the engine unless its in neutral) is in the transmission.

20200525_110528.jpg OK folks, I am getting ready to hook up my shift controls and researching which way the transmission shifts. I have the pcm 343 with the PCM 90 1:23:1 left hand rotation prop, down angle transmission. The convention is that if the shift cable is pushed toward the rear of the boa...

use the ring shank nails, but think about the locations of battons, carlins, shears etc. I had to cut through some nails because I put them right where I shouldn't have!

I had the exact question 4 years ago!

They say to read all the paperwork before you start, the problem is understanding it all before you start.
