Transom bracket on it when I got it.

Thats all for now, will take about an hour to upload these with dial up. All suggestions are welcome but you cridics have the right to remain silent.
 
Cy: The hatch cover is teak and it came with the boat. I stripped off the old and revarnished. I used 3 coats of McCluskis marine varnish. Not sure I spelled McCluskis correct. The wood for the bow ladder is new marine grade oak, with 3 coats of the same varnish.
 
Wow, guys worry when they see a piece of metal wrapped on the transom, but yours is a custom fit. Super nice work on that support bracket. It wasnt just a cheap bend, but custom bends and welded as well. Looks good.
 
Hammer: I was worried when I first saw this bracket but when I tilted the motor up and tried to push down while looking for transom movement, it did not move.

The father of guy I bought it from made and installed it years ago out of aluminum.
 
She's looking good. I dont have enough memory in my camera for all the updates/repairs I have done to my V. Still wanna do alot more, but cash is tight. Always looking for free-bees though. Like bin curtains. Hint..hint Coburn. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Freebies are nice but I havent found any for the projects I have done yet.

Next project is to replace the springs on trailer and some square bent bolts.

Would post pictures of springs but I dont even like the looks of them, Should'nt feel bad I just bought the boat in Jan. and have done alot of work already.
 
Hey Turbo...no critics here...great work!!... ;D ...Like Hammer, that transom cap is the ticket...somebody oughtta go into production w/ that. ;) ...


...and I hear ya on keepin' mama & the kids happy...that ladder is great!!... ;) 8) ...
 
Turbo,
The "China Wreck Diver" stands for me. I'm the only diver now who is willing to dive on an old shipwreck named the China Wreck. Its a shipwreck in the Delaware Bay. The conditions are normally black and in your face. The current is so strong, its been known to purge your regs or pull the regs from out of your mouth.
The wreck lies in the shipping channel in only 50 feet of water. The wreck contains about 33 tons of early 1800's chinaware from England. Its a wreck that I fell in love with and wrote a book on trying to discover the ships real name. ;) ;)
 
Thanks for all the kind words guys. :-*

If you are interested in a installation similar to this I will draw the layout of the under side where the ladder bolts to the wooden supports.

It would make more sense looking at a drawing than me tring to explain in writing. ???



Thanks for the explanation on your name CWD. :D

This forum is full of nice people who like to share and kid about different things. Really glad I found this place. "Should I be posting this over in the sensitive section" :-[

Hammer: Is it true that when you get pulled over by a cop you should never say " officer have you been eating doughnuts cause your eyes are glazed".

Just wandering, my wife dared me to use it next time I get the Kmart special behind me.
