Finished, at last. This has taken way too long. But it's very satisfying. Considering what I started with. And almost every Evinrude dealer in Brisbane telling me to bin it and buy a new motor...... Except for Alan Downes, from Downes Marine. He has been very helpfull, now it's at a stage that I can show him. And hope it is up to his expectations. (he also collects old Johnnyrudes)

As it sits right now. The new transom has been cut. It is two pieces of 3/4" ply that will be glassed together, then fitted to the hull. Need Epoxy first......
