i picked up an older meyer laker 14 in the fall and i am looking in to fixing it up for the spring.
right now the transom is okay but i was thinking about replacing it, its just 2 boards bolted together.
is there any reason that i should not expand on the current size, i was thinking about extending the wood to the bottom of the boat.
this would give me a place to mount a rear transducer with out drilling through the bolt.
i was thinking about using exterior ply with some sort of epoxy resin and paint over that.
right now i cant really think of any negatives to stop me from changing it.
also i have a 800gph bilge pump i was gonna add for peace of mind since i already have it. where should i be going through the hull for that, transom, above/below the waterline?
down the line i will be adding some rod holders, a electric trolling motor for the electric only lakes, fish finder, and nav lights.
i want to get out on the water before i make any major plans for a deck or seat changes,
