jharr01 Posted August 10, 2013 Share #1 Posted August 10, 2013 While text and drawings show stiffeners added to transom, none of the kit build photos seem to show those pieces in place. Are they for actual strength in the model or for realistic look of interior of transom (which is hidden by the deck)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bradfield Posted August 28, 2013 Share #2 Posted August 28, 2013 You at least need to install the upper stiffener as that also serves as a ledge to glue the deck boards to. The rest are more for correctness of construction than actual need. Quote In progress: Willie L.

jharr01 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted August 28, 2013 Richard, Thanks for taking time to reply to my question. I had sort of come to that conclusion, but it is nice to have someone substantiate my decision. After a brief delay to solve that mystery, my build is back underway.. Thanks again.
