I have a nice working BW green tag trans from my 330hp 454. This trans had fresh fluid and about 50hr's of use this season. Never had a problem with it and only reason for selling is iam doing a bravo converstion. $500 for sale in NJ 08755 Email at Crapr6@comcast.net Erik

Update Plywood is fitted and made up some wedges for the new stringers. Ran out of daylight and temp to glue the wood to the fiberglass.

Just wanted to post that I have nothing but good things to say about Mark from MERPerformance Marine! Great parts, fast shipping and even called me to tell me the parts were shipped out! Thanks again Mark. Erik

I understand and thanks guys for helping me out with this. I have googled the grade difference and others have said the same thing. I have also searched on here and other boat website and just like you stated it starts into a heated discussion.

This is a bay and sometimes head out to the ocean boat. I have hit some decent size rollers and the boat always launched, flew, and landed neutral. Never once has it went nose high. You must remember this was a TRS boat and it had a trans which had the motor right up against the rear seat wall...

I understand and do thank you for telling me the diffrerence between the two. :) Erik

So Iam not going to BS you guys but iam going to use what I have. I understand it may not be the best choice but I think it will be ok..:leaving: Erik

I just picked up a $40 sheet from home depot. I was told that I could us marine grade but can also us a good qualty exterior sheet. Also I was told that if its marine or just exterior grade if it gets wet they will both rot in time. Is there a strength deffrance between the two? Erik

Well little update.. Was able to cut both sheets of 3/4 plywood to fit in the boat nice and tight today. Then expoxy both sheets togeather outside the boat. They are drying tonight and maybe tomm will get it set in the boat and drill some holes to hold it tight to the back of the transom. Oh big...

I got all the material today but i dont think this weekend is looking to good. Rain all weekend.... :cuss:

So dont take this the wrong way since iam deff not on here to bash people or there boats...but i guess my old junk wellcraft hull is a nice peice? :sifone: I mean iam sure its heavier then other same size boat's since its a thicker hull but I guess its stronger at the same time? :) Erik

The wood almost fell out! It was wet on the bottom, but the top wasnt that bad. As you can see how I notched out the stringers that help me to inspect the wood in the stringers. The stringers look ok and iam happy they are because that is one less thing to worry about on this old boat. As for...

Will do! It may be a bit slow on updates but i'll keep them coming as soon as I make way. Oh and if iam doing anything wrong and if anybody has a better way of doing this please let me know since iam new at doing this!!

Got all the wood out and sanded the fiberglass down flat. Now its time for some plywood and fiberglass. This is just the start and the boat is a mess already!
