    If only I'd known you were willing to sell it. I picked up a 1977 Suzuki 4.5hp long leg for $50 and apart from needing a proper carburetor clean it seems to run quite well.
    As for the holes, well I plan to widen the forward end of the cockpit seats so the ply is getting replaced anyway.

      You did well! I think I paid eight hundred for the Tohatsu- and drove to the Central Coast to pick it up. Why can't I ever find stuff close to home?

          Made some good progress today with the removal of most of the rot.
          Starting with the port side cockpit seat, and then the transom ply.

          The ply came off without too much drama via the use of chisels and wooden wedges.

            Once the transom ply was off I removed a section of top side ply from the port quarter.

              So, end of day the next step is a sheet of marine ply and a decent amount of paint stripping.

                The wide transom board has some patches of rot which I am hoping I can patch rather than replace the whole board.

                              A small but fiddly bit of progress today. I would have achieved more but the windy conditions brought down a dead tree over the driveway. The upside of that is it's very dry timber and burns beautifully.
                              I decided to tackle the port quarter topside repair, which meant cutting out the rotten section of beamshelf and ripping some replacement timber. Being such small scantlings this was easy to do.
                              It looks like crap but the timber is solid...well as solid as old Douglas fir can be. First though, some dodgy joinery.

                              I won't call them scarfs but I bevelled the ends and overlapped the joins for strength.

                              And the two layers dry fitted.

                                I bought a sheet of 6mm marine ply today, and was told I may not be able to buy any more till October. Seems supplies of a lot of things are getting harder to get.
