It Begins..... Seafarer Ventura Stringers and floor.

If that bracket goes anywhere it will only be because it has taken the transom with it.

It's a Seafarer not a Cruisecraft.

That's right......so it's not going anywhere 😉

Done properly, there are no issues with this. Of course, there is no point hanging it off a rotted transom, what you are bolting to to needs to be solid. You need to remember that the thrust is being applied at the bottom of the leg, via the prop, so the thrust is pushing , effectively against the whole transom, not acting purely as a lever against that extension. I could see absolutely no deflection on mine, with full throttle starts on the F115. My transom was proved good when they drilled, clean dry wood.

Yeah
I was a little worried when it was being installed
I thought the transom was solid. It had been replaced previously and felt and sounded solid. But you can never be 100% sure with a second hand boat......
It's all good though, when he installed the motor he said the transom is solid as a rock, no rot at all.

Decided to modify the canopy. It was the old one, which was a bad fit, made worse by me putting the rocket launcher on.
Decided to cut 10 inches out of it to make it fit inside the rocket launcher, and going to make it a foot or 2 shorter so it doesn't extend past the screen.
Found a virtually perfect fitting piece of pipe and some rivets, feels more rigid the new.....
Now to get some quotes to get it upholstered.......
Need the bunks inside the cabin done too, if anyone wants a cashy???20190724_121755.jpg20190724_121806.jpg20190724_121855.jpg

Bit slow. Been real busy. Sorry.
I went with an old T Top that i got for nothing as it was busted. Modified it and fitted it to my rocket launcher.
