side pocket delete vmate 2

[michaelxp]

has anyone deleted the side pockets on a vmate 2 and placed a piece of plywood to clean up the look of the boat and hide wiring and speakers
thinking of doing it myself just wanted to see if anyone else has done it?

I'm lucky and my transom is still strong but just did the floors put an xp200 with stainless prop on it and new gauges now I can finally see what she spins for rpm

Strange colored plywood, what did you use when redoing your transom???

@1954bmw I used Coosa Board for the transom, three 3/4" pieces laminated together. Im using it for stringers, floors & bulkheads too.
