Is that the FS 18 bateau boat? I am starting to get the build fever again, and thought I might try and make one pretty this time.That is one sweet job you did on that.

Yes, it’s the Flats Stalker 18 from Bateau. Thanks!

I received a couple of pm’s and I’ll reply to y’all each in the morning. Thanks for the interest :smiley:

Thanks for the help. Larry, especially, I do owe you a lot of gratitude for all your help the past couple of months.

No, you don’t owe me anything. What goes around comes around. Pay it forward :smiley:

I will be needing to replace the transom in this boat soon if I upgrade to a 15hp. It’s just a mere 4" wide stretcher going across the back.

It does have a fairly sturdy angled aluminum bracket in the middle, riveted in, but I really want a full transom. I’ll post pics of it soon.

I happen to have some 3/4" Starboard available to me, I may be able to get enough of it to double up and make a 1.5" thick transom. Would be nice if I could but man would that be heavy.
