if your rigging the meyer tunnel do not jack plate it add a riser or use a short mid with setback they get really flighty.. i still have mine unrigged because of a steering system failure... not willing to try again until funds are higher


also do not use marine ply wood.... use thermalite from applied plastic machine off 26th and long in SE portland for transom and core they make sheets in up to 2" thick specifically for transom and stringer use.. its a composite that is all polyurethane based and rot free
not to mention lighter... if they require a wholesale account let me know i have one with them and can resell to you
