I'm not sure of the guy's name. This was down in La. quite a few years ago.
I think the drive looks pretty cool. If they could do something a little better with the rudders it would help. The newer drives are actually quite a bit more streamlined looking. They have done a lot with the platforms to help the asthetics. I think the singles look really good, especially on a smaller boat.

I was just thinking the same thing! wouldnt there be too much stress on that square that was patched in the hole from the drive stress?

What you are looking at is only the first layer of plywood. There are 2 more layers that went over that. That was put in that way to be able to fill the outside. I did not want to cut the outside of the transom and mess up the original glass and gelcoat. You just fill the outside and make it flush with what is already there. The inside then got 2 full layers of plywood with glass in between each layer and then over the top of the last layer. All layers of plywood are 90* to each other to prevent any flexing. It is probably stronger than it was, because the holes you see in the first pictures were open. They were there for the transmission to pass through the transom. Now the transom is solid and has the gimble tying it all together.
It is also almost a 1/2" thicker than it was. You guys are right, just patching a transom with a small piece of wood would not be sufficient in my opinion.

I just didn't have the spare time to do a structural analysis of the newpaper vs. the Elmers. It would have been affected to much by the gravitational pull of magnetic north, not to mention the angle of the dangle. Of course, everyone knows that is directly proportional to the mass of the meat.

Greg,
It's coming along nicely. I'm very pleased with it so far and I think you will be also.

It certainly would have been cheaper!!!
