    Thanks, I was looking at some pics of pontoon transom tubes online and there is definitely not as much structure in a lot of those as what I put in mine, so thanks for your thoughts as well. I'll stop there with the aluminum. Especially with the cost of extruded aluminum these days. It's mig...

    Will weld in this 3/16" plate for some final reinforcement on the inside of the transom tying the top and bottom crossmembers together. Probably should weld up that gap between the top of the transom and the upper crossmembers?

    Proposed tank and battery layout. Not sure yet if the fill tube should go to the front or back. Also plan to add hydraulic steering at some point need to make sure there is clearance. Will need to mount the motor soon to check the clearances

    My original plan was to build out the transom like I did and then run channel alongside the engine bay walls from the transom to the next boat crossmember where the old front stringer engine mount was attached for extra strength. (Where the green line is in the photo.) Any thoughts on whether...

    The 1/4" transom plate is officially part of the boat now. The welds are not pretty but there is good penetration. Good welders please avert your eyes.

    Boxing top crossmember support and reinforcing through holes for outboard mount. When you don't know the math, overengineer.

    Got my fuel tank, the old one was steel, 12 gallon, this one is a 14, should be more than enough for my needs. A bit concerned about throttle/shift cable clearance but should be ok I think.

    Got the Healtech Honda software and connected to the new Honda. Only 74 total hours, I'm stoked it's practically new. Anyone know what Overrun Running Time means?

    Measuring many times before I make any cuts 😁 Starting from the current waterline and using the guidance from the installation manual. I may need to add a couple inches to the bottom of the old engine bay to maintain the 1 inch distance between the cavitation plate level and the hull bottom...

    Thanks, a long way to go 🙂 The fuel tank will probably go back to the front, I preserved the fuel line going to the back of the boat so it should be relatively easy to hook up.

    Came across this in the installation manual of the BF115. Honda shows 12 degrees. Any reason to do something different?

    Also, any thoughts on transom angle? Seeing 12 to 14 degrees...
