Boat Builder Central

I guess I'm not crazy, as I found a builder's thread from 2010 (user name: whosmatt) who had exactly the same problem. He ended up redoing the splashwell, as the lower bolts are too close to the bottom of the splashwell. I'll probably do something similar. I assume the plans have been updated to fix...

Thanks for your help. My plans are from 2007. I bought the precut kit. The only thing I did was cut the transom down for a 20 inch motor. I think I did it right, but who knows. Unfortunately, I can't find the page in the plans that shows the transom dimensions, but here are some pictures.

My build has been on hold for weeks now waiting to pick out colors. How can they sell their paint if there are...

I'm trying to install the transom on the strongbacks and have a question with the way the motor well goes together. The plans show the inside spacing of the motorwell sides to be 32 inches, but the motorwell bottom that comes with the plywood kit is 32 3/4" wide. This part fits between the moto...
