How's It Looking?

Front view looking to the stern.
It's not looking like much right now but that's part of the fun. Here is the layout of the transom and frames 1 through 3. As you can see, it's going to have a nice width which will be comfortable for fishing.

The wood is made of spruce and it's the common 2x4 found in your local home improvement store. They will have a coat of epoxy once the sides and floor are fitted.




Back view of the transom.
Right now the engine mount is set at a 15" height, however, that may be modified to a 20" motor mount. A self bailing compartment is in the works for the transom. Looking at the width, it appears that two people can sit in the stern comfortably.

The supervisor in the background is Uncle Gil. He's really my neighbor but we call him Uncle Gil. He's had a hand in this project and it's been very helpful thus earning his fishing spot on the dory.
