Looks like you are making headway. I sent you a PM, check it out and let me know if you are interested. You are doing much the same type work I did and this helped me more than anything else I tried.

Yeah I have been having some trouble getting the resin to harden with the cold/wet weather!

I was having the same problem up here in VA until I got a propane tube heater. they are $100 at Wallyworld and they work great. just make sure that you dont put it too close. If it gets too hot it tends to do weird stuff to the resin.

Wallyworld?

I think you should reconsider the bracket and keep the boat as original as possible with a notch for the OB, it would look awesome with a 200-250hp unit from one of the big outfits!

Well if I reconsider I would stay with I/O. I am certain I do not want to reconstruct the whole transom to notch it,splash well and the works.

Wallyworld?

I think he is referring to Wal-Mart.

Over the weekend got some work done on the "21".
Took out the overnighter boxes and the Jockey Boxes. The boat now has gone from a weekender to a Sportsman. All that is left is to remove the last two sections of floor and then start the rebuilding process.

One box gone.

You know a Mercruiser 350 is looking better all the time.
