wow just found this thread! excellent work, thanks for sharing all the info!!! how bizarre that you had a Pachanga then moved to a 3 year older 270DA and here I am doing the exact same thing!:smt101 I only wish I could fit mine in my back yard to work on.
Fantastic work with the boat! I'm going to be replacing my motor this fall and am wondering if I will have to do much of the same. Has anyone ever had to replace their stringers? I notice that my motor mount bolts are pulling out and the wood remnants on them feels wet. Is that something that you could put git rot in them or is replacement preferred?
Well just was bummed about my 79' 268 slightly rotted transom but after seeing your detailed progress and tips I have a better feel about doing it hands on. Thanks
Yep - I am right in the middle of putting everything back together with new shift cables, cut-out switches and bellows so I'll get them together in the next day or so.KC, if possible can you post some detail pics of how the 1 piece jump seat bracket is fab'd? I'd like to duplicate it.
thanks,,,,,

Hi KC, thanks for posting the pics, gives me some ideas I think my 268 helm bench on the back is dif. Looks like welds may have been done with a mig spool gun or a tig with no High Frequency.
I may down laod the pics if it will let me and zoom in.
