Thanks Steve
I saw your boat last night, It's looking great.
You said that you used 3/4" ply for the transom. Did you have to make adjustments to the motor well sides or the length of the hull panels?
I am thinking of using 1/2" for the transom and clamping boards, this way I may not have to cut back on too much.
thanks for your reply

I used 2 layers of 18mm ply for the clamping board, as I already had it,instead of 3 of 9mm & used 1 layer of 10 mm for the full transom. I just cut the cutouts in the motorwell sides 10mm deeper to compensate.the only meaurement that changed was that one. if you use 12mm(1/2) for the full transom instead of 3/8 I dont think it will matter.what does matter is that the total thicness of the transom including clamping boards is equal to or greater than that stated in the plans.fire away with trhe questions btw, I did, everyone here wants you to succeed.bushmaster wrote:Thanks Steve

Dang...where are you located??? Your wearing shorts and we have 2' of snow on the ground with a high of 9 degrees today! hahaha. Puts a little damper on the boat building, but the skiing's been great!
Looks like things are coming out nicely for you. Look forward to seeing more. You'll probabaly pass me up in no time!

If I was to start over I would use throwaway molds for everything except the transom, frame A & the stringers, you will save ply that way.the other permanent frames could be cut from less than one sheet I think.If you look in the gallery for Jimmac he has a flipped boat with a slightly modified bow sheer.
