    Use good hose like heater hose not that junk they use for bilge pumps, not a good place to have a leak, when things get bouncing around back there a rupture could sink you.

    Transoms done. A slight bit of interior glass work and paint time.

    Nice restore, I bought a vulture new in 1978 with a Evinrude 235 it did 78 mph. In 1 1/2 years the bottom delaminated so they gave me a new 1980 for $800 the cost of increase in year. It was slower a bit heavier and had a lip on the pad. In 1984 a bought a 2.6 XP and with a land and sea hydrolic transom and low water nose cone kit and a Hoss 30 pitch triton 1 it was back up to 80 mph not bad for a box stock outboard. I don't think yo need a lot of set back cuz the transom is notched to start with. Good luck with it.

    Thanks. Been a fun project and I've leaned a good amount about fiberglass work. The most important being to just pay someone to do.it.

    I discovered the secret to getting this going. Two weeks. What that means is I plan for two week windows where whatever project im working on gets my focus completely for two weeks, then i reassess. This way work and life dont get interupted too much but with two week cycles i can get substantial progress done on my projects. If all goes well i double down another two weeks but its seldom i get that much wiggle room. Two weeks of focus and this build will be done

    keep after it
