Strick, Don:Im going to build my own bracket, help

[Bigshrimpin]

Jobs are hard to come by these days, even at Wal Mart I imagine. Seriously though, thank you for the advise, but I really enjoy this kind of work. It looks like you used plywood in yours. Did you build a plywood "box" and cover it with layers of glass or did you build it in a mold/

I used plywood for the tramson core, stringers, and swim platform core. Seems to be holding up fine. There's nothing wrong with coring with ply, but I worry a little b/c of the dampness inside the bracket all the time. Also my engine is single 363lb motor . . . which is not the same as 1100+ lbs (twin 3.0L mercs) pushing a 23ft 4000+lb hull 55 - 60mph over 3ft chop. Build it strong!!

Just make sure you don't build a stitch and glue plywood bracket and expect it to hold up.
