1) how is your transducer working out are you happy with it? Did that location work ? I’m at the point where it would be time to pick an area and glass it. Yours was the first I’ve seen and it’s looks like a great idea.
2) I also have some purpleheart I was thinking of for a keel was there a particular reason that you changed your mind ?
Thanks Tom

it , i don't know why and it was easier to build a new one out of some scrap 1/2" marine ply i had laying around.
When i put it on the hull i glassed it with 12 OZ glass. Tom where do you live in Mass I lived there for 48 years.

Did you ever try the through hull transducer or did you just decide to go with a transom mount?
