Its a beauty, just like one of the bracket pictures you sent, I can't find a used bracket that is bolted together so thought this would work...

God's honest truth I was filling the tank today in secret cove amd a guy says to me "hey there's a guy on sfbc.com who is rebuilding a 23 and a 26 hourston"...my reply was "he should totally notch the transom" hahaha.
Point being, your build has gone viral and I firmly believe a pod from a reputable builder is crowd fundable, Rob. I'm down for the first $50 who's with me!

Seriously?
That is soooo hilarious, I knew I had a few guys following but really...? Well I don’t want to let everyone down, I should give this sale second thoughts! Maybe I’ll do a poll and let everyone an opportunity to have a say to weigh-in on her future... Ok so I thought about it
and a poll has been added to this thread, the poll has a few different controversial topics that has come up during this build, the option for more than one choice has been added. Please choice wisely and play responsibly! As for "crowd funded", is that legal? If something like this were to happen perhaps I could do a few prizes 1 , 2 and 3 draw for gift cards/pre paid visa/boating items etc... for participators... We can have some fun with this now that you mention it...

I replied to your poll. I voted:
* keep the boat
* add bracket for outboards
* add twin outboards
I still think the same as I did a few weeks ago when you went through the CL listing episode. Keep the boat. Stretch the timeline to accommodate your budget. Your workmanship is incredible and you'll be disappointed with anything else you might buy as an alternative, unless you spend $300,000+ for a new Whaler or Grady.
I personally think that if you get a pair of lease returns in the 200hp/ea range you'll be set. Get them with digital controls for easy rigging of multiple steering stations. Then you can skip the kicker which gives you a cleaner transom, less maintenance, and quieter trolling.

NO BRACKET!! full width pod is ftw., twin 200, no kicker.

So all the underside is complete, I just done the final sand and gelcoat, w/wax added, this am. Eventually a head liner will be installed but for now its fresh and clean.
I will flip tomorrow to start on the topside, yuck!! Not looking forward to this next step... its going to be a mess and lots of work, I would honestly prefer to tackle a transom install than this topside. O well, the show must go on...
