Got the 10" mid all completed and on boat finally! Stock Merc swivel bracket just cut down 8.75" and new legs added and gussets everywere! It's been a learning process but I love it. Pics are random order. 451993451993451994451993451995451996451997451998451999452000452001452002452003452004452005

Damn Keaten. If I would have known you were gonna do all this to my old boat I probably wouldn't have sold it to you but instead hired you to do the work and kept it. Really looks good and since very few on here know how much it took to get it where it is today, believe me, he deserves a pat on the back. Do you have any idea on the current weight? When he got it it was by far the lightest STV I have owned or known of. You have reason to be proud.
BTW..;.Please tell me that is NOT the can I cut down and if it is please please tell me you tabbed it on the inside.

Thank you guys it's been a long road lots of hours on this whole Rig! No it's not the 15" can I got from you. And yes lots of straps inside the housing with wood glue.. Haha no welded! Thanks I enjoy showing pics on here and on boat related stuff bc everyone at the boat ramp, gas pumps,lake, beach don't know anything about the motor or work it takes to get it to were it is. I took pics on everything I did on this boat, trailer, motor 452030bc there as been so many projects over the years that I wish I still had pics from!
