If your boat’s sponsons are not parallel to each other, you
will have to decide which sponson needs to be changed. I
like to pick the sponson that is lower in back and work this
sponson forward to match the other.
Load your sanding block with 80 grit sandpaper and place
it on the lower sponson. Start removing material off the
sponson, making sure you keep the sanding block fl at.
Check your progress often and work slowly. Be careful not
to round off any of the edges on the bottom of the boat.
They need to remain sharp.
Once you have the two sponsons parallel it’s time to move
on, making sure the sponson bottoms are fl at. You will
have noticed that the sponson that you just sanded had
some low spots; if you did not get all the low spots out do
your best to remove them, making sure you do not change
the sponsons’ angle. Once that sponson is completely fl at,
sand the other sponson bottom fl at as well. Finish up with
some 220 grit sand paper.
After you have both sponsons parallel to each other and
the bottoms are dead fl at, you will have to reseal the bare
wood. I like to use clear catalyzed auto paint but a good
fi nishing epoxy works well, too. Note: Avoid laminating
epoxies for this process.
After the sealer is cured, scrape the sponson bottoms fl at
with a single edge razor blade. If you need to apply more
sealer do so now. When that is cured, repeat the scraping
process and fi nish by scuffi ng the sponson bottoms with a
red scratch pad.

the front. Again check for any exposed wood and seal it at
this time if needed.
DRILLING THE TRANSOM FOR THE ENGINE
Parts list and tools needed for this step:
Engine mount template (back cover of this manual)
Hand drill 3/32” drill 5/32” drill
Masking tape Toothpick Epoxy
Carefully cut the engine mount template out from the back
of this manual. Position it on the back of the transom using
tape to hold it in place. Using a 3/32" drill bit, drill the On-Off
hole location as well as pre-drill the holes for the motor mount
bolts. Switch to the larger 5/32" bit and re-drill the four motor
mount bolt locations. Remove the pattern and do your best to
seal the holes using epoxy and a toothpick. After the epoxy
has cured it’s a good idea to pass the appropriate drill bit back
through the holes to clean out any excess epoxy buildup.
