I was recently given a 85 Tidecraft hull for free. I am pretty sure the transom is shot, so I am planning on trying to replace it myself. This is my first boat and I know very little about them. I am very mechanical and can fix almost anything. Since it is free, I think it will be a fun and rewarding project. Any advice offered will be greatly appreciated. I will post pictures in a couple of days.

Have fun take your time read everything you can every moment you can and don't be afraid to ask the people here questions. Here the people are willing tell it straight but not being rude. Well unless you ignore the advice then comeback whining that doing it your way didn't work.

Heed the advise you get on here Allen... it is MONEY! I would have never taken on my restoration project without reading tons of post here. I've found nothing like it. The guys and gals on here are great. Before I try anything different on my project, I post the question and move forward with confidence knowing that if I do get into a jam... answers are just a post away.

Enjoy your project dude!
