I am about to start my material purchases and had a question. This question may have been answered in another post but I will ask here. When I pulled out my transform, it was 1 full layer of plywood and a small piece in center for outdrive. What difference would it make if I ran 2 full layers across the back?

2 full layers... some more weight. More plywood cost.
(assuming you were building a bunch of them and could more efficiently use it... You can get both layers from one sheet?)

I will not be able to get 2 full layers layers from 1 sheet. of course I do not want to add more weight. This boat did not have foam installed so I cant rely on the foam to create buoyancy.

I will try and find a pic of the day I hooked it up. It looks different now than it did when I brought it home. Since then I have sanded off bottom paint on sides and gave it a sand and buff to see how well the gelcoat was. It looks good but bottom paint was hiding a few things but not to worried about outside for now. Hre are some more pics of the boat.



Can anyone help me out here. I just purchased the same boat. And I love how the seats are in the back to the left and right of the motor. Anyone can tell me is that something I can buy or is that custom? I can't see how the seats are supported. Looks like there is a brace attached to the motor cover but then it won't be able to open. Id really appreciate if anyone knows a good solution. Or any links would be great. Id like to add some sort of seating . I like how the seats don't have a bottom and you can put stuff under it
