Chebacco transom
Drafted out the transom on a piece of MDO the other night. Haven't
made any cuts yet. Plans say:
"inside 1-1/2" transom
inside 1/2" plank
overall before beveling"
Not sure what PCB&F is trying to say here. Widest part of the transom
as dimensioned on the plans is 63". Micrometer and calculator taken
to the plan view of the boat indicate a transom width of 64.75".
Taking 1" off for ply thickness, we get 63.75.
So, would seem to indicate to me that the transom should be 63" wide
on the OUTSIDE of the boat, and beveled to be even wider inside the
boat....
Thoughts?
