    Ok KC, so the transom had the grooves cut into the planks . Took me a few minutes to figure out how to re-create them . Opted for an 1/8” router bit and my elcheapo plastic router table . I think I achieved the look ok ..

    Also had our Bi-annual Suwannee River AOMCI get together this weekend . River was at flood levels and a ton of crap floating down stream . That made the boating a little sketchy but we made the best of it . Only one sheared pin out of the lot of us luckily..
