Yes sir, hopefully the transom is in as good of shape as yours. I think I will pretty much copy your reinforcing plan. Any advice is greatly appreciated

Hopefully it’s a lot better than mine, I had a horrible fuel leak that rotted the lower part of the transom and the stringers.Yes sir, hopefully the transom is in as good of shape as yours. I think I will pretty much copy your reinforcing plan. Any advice is greatly appreciated
Are you doing the glass work yourself?

Oh my bad I thought I remembered yours being ok. No I'm just stripping and cleaning everything. I have a glass guy lined up to do the work in March.

Easy to fly thru a lot of the project, I have spent the last 5 weekends installing electronics, kicker, autopilot and still not done. Lol.
One step at a time

That’s right, one step at a time and it doesn’t become overwhelming.
@ShaeMcLaren you’re a hour and a half of work into your project

These are such great projects, wish I was younger and had the energy to take one on with a great boat. Hopefully the roof line stays intact on this one. (Lol)Finally started ripping apart the boat today, preparing for the pod and outboards. Yanked the legs, swim deck, kicker motor, trim tabs, and transducer. Took all my measurements for the pod design, couldn't be happier getting rid of the inboards.

The roofs staying on! I enjoy the storage and view from up there too much! If I was smart I would have podded it 2 years ago when it was completely ripped apart
. Learning as I go...Hopefully it turns out as good as yours

With the fibreglass guy coming soon I figured I may as well get this thing cleaned up. Yanked motors, transom shields, hot water tank, and a ton of wiring. Felt great cutting out all that old junk. Tomorrow I'll clean it up better on the inside .

It actually had the 165 mercruisers in it. Gm 250's I believe.

Yeah I'm pretty happy with it. The transom shields had some crazy thick rubber seals on them. No signs of rot on the transom. Hopefully the stringers are also in good shape
