So I probably got lazy(recurring theme with me) and just concerned myself with a clean joint and didn't consider the ramifications of the transom flexing.

Laziness is not the culprit with a guy who has more than one boat build and several project boats under his belt, with more in the future. I don't buy it.

I think the biax tape back there will make all of your problems go away and leave you confident once again, that your transom is not going to fall off. Probably...
That's quite kind! Agreed on the biax, I'm convinced!
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

Lake is rocking, plan is to do some ww paddling and then sail to the next bay for some SUP fishing. Summer's running out already!

Quick vid of the fs in some small chop. You can hear a few pretty good hull slaps. Probably 2/3 throttle.

Boat continues to deliver. A friend took this old-as sounder/plotter off his searay, perfect, free pickup for me. The gps is hopeless compared to my droid but the fishfinder is spot-on.

Here we go again!

This jig is for my glued lapstrake oar and sail boat. Not a JM design but hopefully I can log it here, I'll continue getting whatever supplies I can from Mr. Morrow.
