I had to do the wood in mine about 28 years ago ;-) If this is the regular 1.5" keystone looking piece that fits in an aluminum motor pod, 2 pieces of 3/4" Exterior grade AC plywood laminated together with waterproof Tite Bond and screwed with stainless screws will last for quite a while if you seal it with epoxy resin after you get it assembled. Just be sure to seal the holes where you mount the motor. That dent on the nose is what I was talking about when I said hitting something with one pontoon. Look to see if there is water in them and do a pressure test for leaks. A TIG guy can fix them pretty easily. ........ I’m thinking that while I’m pulling the engine anyhow I might as well mount the 115. 80 hp sounds big but this is a big pontoon. I’m not into speed but don’t want to be loaded down and maybe break 20 knots Actually, speed might help your slow-wittedness. |
