Transom/motorwell 2

I've installed the shelf-like braces on the sides of the motorwell. I cut these out of scrap spanish cedar on the bandsaw- they turned out very well. I accidentaly screwed them perpendicularly to the motorboard; they should be parallel to the floor. Then finished dry fitting the motorwell to the transom. You have to make the pilot holes for screws very big when screwing into this rock hard sapele plywood. I''ve probably stripped out 25 screws.
