It's starting to come together. Just finished installing my new transom. One inch thick laminated Plywood coated in fiberglass resin for waterproofing. I even got 3 out of four rivets installed. I had to use a screw on the fourth, wallowed out the hole. It was my first time doing rivets, so i can live with it. The brace is rock solid. I will be starting the paint job today. Duralux Marine Paint in Pirogue Green.
