Cool. You should be able to loft the pieces as planned with the 10% scale up.

If it's not too late, I would measure your motor before cutting the transom. The Honda's, as an example, tend to be more like 22.5 inches, not 20", which can cause some consternation.fireturk41 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 15, 2022 2:35 pm I’m getting to a stall point (material wise) I’m going to cut molds tomorrow and the transom. For the transom where the motor hangs, although I’m scaling by 10% I leave that dene soon the same height, correct? Also I was reading other builds and saw where others transoms were about an inch short. Should I raise it an extra inch?
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

Jeff that may be true of their smaller motors, but they must meet SAE standards for motors 40HP and higher. I just checked the 75 and 90's are 20" shafts or for 90 25". Other manufacturers also do the same thing for their smaller motors, though more and more are sticking to the 20 and 25" standard.VT_Jeff wrote: ↑Mon Jun 27, 2022 9:43 amIf it's not too late, I would measure your motor before cutting the transom.

Sorry for the long break! I had a sick family member and work that delayed my progress. However I will post pics in a moment! I’m one or two sheets of 1/2” short for the forms due to robbing pieces to use on my other boat but it’s moving along

My pest control guy decided to watch me cut out the transom. His big brother didn’t come out today though
Got molds B and C up
Transom and one of the clamping boards is cut
