    Drilling Holes in Transom level?

    I've been reworking and fixing up my 12Ft Sears Gamefisher Jon boat and today I hit a snag. I had my new transom cut out and the two 1/2 inch plywood pieces glued together and when I clamped it back into the boat to drill the holes before sealing up the wood and I really thought that I had...
