I sure do wish I had a garage or barn like some of you have to roll the boat in and get it done.
This rain is really slowing me down |

So moving along slowly but moving along in finishing replacing wood from the top cap
But I have a question on something I read here. I am raising my transom to 26 and I understand that I may have an issue with the engine mounting bolts and my Master Angler splash well What have other MA owners experienced and what has been the solutions? I guess either way it means more glasswork and more grinding |

If its a big issue with the bottom bolts then maybe just go with 25" instead

Bolt holes

Lots of people think both Kmoose and Blue Heron are both grouchy, but they ain't. They's just always study'in and think'in and cogitat'in about stuff and they ain't got time for no small talk - they's busy "plann'in and plott'in". I just get around 'em and learn by osmosis! |

I think I'm going to get from a marine engine supplier of mine a paper diagram that you can put on the transom that shows where to drill the bolts . I read that taking it to 27 may do the trick. Putting a jack plate is probably out
Would really like to here from another MA owner that did the same job as mine and see what they did |

Well I'm done with the top cap and I'm waiting for my son and some of his friends to flip it and put it back on. Took a pic of the raised transom up to 26.
It going to be raining here this weekend so I don't think much can be done. |

Well a bit of progress on the build
Added flotation foam to the top cap, came out nice, Worked on gas tank...cleaned it up and sprayed it with some zinc chromate and is now ready for the coal tar treatment. I am looking for either someone that has some they want to sell or if they know some place local to buy a quart Ordered the pourable transom material today should be here by Thursday and get it done this weekend weather permitting. Pictures to follow |

I did the Arjay and Skip & Carla (65Bowrider) did the seacast. In my case so far so good after 6+ years and I think Skip is still happy with his. I did mine by taking off the transom skin and then replacing it, Skipper left his on and dug out the bad wood from the top. If all the wood is rotten going from the top is easier.
