ok i see it now even better than before on the teley. When you cut the top of the cap cut it in the well some. cut it about 10 inches low all the way across inside the well on the transom. I cut mine only 6 inches but in your case go 10" minimum. see where i cut mine.

Before cut

Stinky I have never done that kind of repair though from what I have seen others do you should be ok to do wwhat your saying as long as you don't have to go to deep into the transom to remove rot wood. How deep does it go .
And I am not a crack head , though I have cracked heads ;)

DAMN STINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kickin it up a notch with the whole video thing, sweet! :o :o :o

It looks like you got it under control. Nothin to it but to do it. Looks like it should be plenty strong.




p.s. I want to see the whole chain saw masacre on video ;)

Hey Stink, why did you raise the splashwell if you're closing in the transom? Couldn't you eliminate the splashwell all together??? You'd have so much more room.

[Skools Out]

he's making a fish / bait well.

Hey Stink, *why did you raise the splashwell if you're closing in the transom? *Couldn't you eliminate the splashwell all together??? *You'd have so much more room.

The splash well is coming out Tin...the bait wells will be in the top. I will have an access hatch on the interior rear wall to get to the bilge area. I just havent cut it out yet. What you see is "stock". ;)

[Stinky_Hooker]

oh, i will video the massacre for you! 8)

[Skools Out]

[Stinky_Hooker]

[TheTinMan]

I think you mean "Stinky with chainsaw!!!" :o :o :o

[reelapeelin]

Video-capable Stinky...Oh boy...here we GO !!.... ;D ;D ;D...

BTW...I like your plan...think it's gonna work great...baitwell idea=SUPER!!...

[macojoe]

I want to see him chainsawing in his thong!!

See if you can get your wife to narrate next time, I can understand you with all that bubble gum in your mouth ;D

The Idea is good, But as for the transom, I think how much work has to be done will be dictated by what you find when you start chainsawing.

you very well may have to do the whole transom?? What you doing adding a bracket for the motor?? Thats a great Idea, I wish I had thought about it!!

>:( :'( Can't connect to server here at work. Bummer. >:( :(

[Pipe_Dream]

Did y'all notice that he was givin' all of us the finger, while allegedly pointing to his transom? :o

just kidding, stink. Your idea looks sound, we eagerly await the chainsaw video.

[Stinky_Hooker]

Yes, a brackett MJ. I have one with a platform on it...paid 300....remember? ::)


You old guys, yall forget everything. ;D

[Blue_Runner]

[Stinky_Hooker]

[msbhammer]

Stink, Super great video, but where are all the bebes : )
You do fiberglass as a hobbie or as work..or both.
Hammer.

[TheTinMan]

hammer, didn't you see his other video.....he's a Chippendale.:)

[Stinky_Hooker]

Hammer, as a hobbie only. I started restoring old boats when I was 15.

If I did it for a living I would have killed myself and a few others a long time ago. ;D

[msbhammer]
