DFR. My grandpa would never say nice work, instead he would say good enough for government work. Of course he said that about a poor job too LOL

Can’t remember the specs of it but what a boat mechanic recommended I use. Was 3 pieces glued together. One 1/2” piece and two 3/4” pieces. I had to repair all the support brackets to as some were cracked ( I believe from no transom saver while being towed) I bought this from a guy I used to help commercial fish the Mississippi River, so it has done its work lol. Think I finally flushed all the fish scales out of it that weren’t from me .

I added an 1/8” piece of aluminum on back to maybe give more support and a back yard design transom saver. We’ll see how that works ha ha
