Thanks guys but the trouble is the guy I bought the boat from bolted a piece of 3/4 treated plywood to the inside of the transom. He claimed the original transom was fine but wanted something he could put screws into without hurting anything. The other thing is with the Stinger out drive it leaves at least an 18 inch square hole when it is removed so figured it would be just as easy to replace everything.

Anyone ever try replacing the transom in a 22 ft. aluminum boat? I want to go from the old I/O to an outboard. With Starcraft Stinger 400 outdrive there will be a huge hole where the outdrive sets so figured on just replacing the whole thing.I know you need the cut out in the center of the transom so the motor will clear the bottom of the boat, not even sure at this point what motor and how long of shaft I will be dealing with. Then there is the splash pan to be made and installed, just not sure it is worth all the work.

Nice job Mike. When we goin.

The big rolling waves were coming right up the chanel at Manistee and I watched severl break over the top of the concrete in front of the Coast Guard Station across from the fish cleaning station.

Congates on your first bird. No doubt you are now hooked for life.

Nice job on the birds. Can't wait untill next month when I get a chance to hunt for a long beard.

Nice job Veronica. Congatulations on your master angler catch. Way to get the kids interested in the outdoors Ed, something a lot more parents need to do.

Nice looking rig Dog.

The DNR has nothing to do with the wolves, they are federaly regulated untill they get delisted again. As far as antler restictions, chances are they listened to what the sportsman wanted, you can blame that one on the QDM crowd I think. So far I see none of your complaints that are the DNR's fault, not to mention it's not their job to make you happy but rather manage the wildlife for the betterment of the wildlife and not hunter satisfaction.

Actually they thought about it but decided aginst. They did not want to creat a demand for for fear everyone would want to grow them for extra money. Joe They were first brought here to clean up the catfish ponds down south. No one fore saw what would happen if things flooded and now we are stuck with the after math.
