Good day....I have finished my transom and engine and outdrive back in place. Stringers are tabbed in but not finished. I need to move my boat about a 20 min drive. Is it safe to do so or will I crack something

Well I wouldn't of put the motor and outdrive back in if I was still working on stringers

Can't just finish the stringers first?

If you tabbed the stringers in you will be fine , just keep it under a hundred mph... Way less stress on a hull sitting on The wagon vs going through rough water

That is kinda what I figured. I can honestly say it has way more strength now then it did when I pulled it apart no bulkheads...rotten and soaked stringers. Rotten and soaked transom.
