[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 87336, member: 1523"] 4-3-09... Motor frame plate finished up. Ended up trimming the angle so it was .55" shorter on one end. Made the angle finder show a 1` up towards the front which matched the driveshaft and pump flange. Now I can fine tune the alignment between the saddle and the stringers. it actually turned out pretty good once I remembered how to weld aluminum with a spool gun... [img]https://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z291/Ranchero50/Boat/Seadoo%20Swap/P1010076.jpg~original[/img] I also mocked up and welded the console stands onto the middle bench. Ran a couple wood screws to hold the console on and it really feels sturdy. The stringers are welded in along with the front angle for the floor. [img]https://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z291/Ranchero50/Boat/Seadoo%20Swap/P1010077.jpg~original[/img] Finally tonight I zipped in the pump flange to the transom. It still flexes a little but now I don't have to worry about it falling out while fitting the pump inlet and grate setup. It was a good day, Jamie [/QUOTE]
