Thanks for the reply however I have the wood locatin map that was given when the boat was new and it does not tell how big the piece is or its exact location all I know its 5/8" thick but I dont know how thick the hull is, the other thing is the swim platform is on the port side which is good and is mounted with a bracket just under the rub rail and then bolts just above the water line, This is such a nice boat I want to know where to drill and tap these holes without making a mess of it. If the whole transom has phenolic then its no problem,like I said Id like to hear from someone who has done this before
