whose amputated bloody finger is that in the second pic?

No sh!t ... WTF? over

I'm up in the air on this as well. I was hoping you were going to say gelcoat and you had a place to purchase it locally already tinted. I've messed around trying to tint gelcoat to match my Grady and its been a royal pain, and I do it all the time with cars.

inner skin is off
 

For anyone interested in how they built these transoms...

Yo can see the flat center where the motor goes is separated by glass from the angled sides. The sides are multiple pieces. You can see 4 vertical pieces (3/4" ply)on each side. They cover 2 horizontal 3/4" layers on each side.

It appears that they built the hull with a full transom and then cut the notch for the motor. Its a shame they didn't glass over the cuts. You just gotta wonder what bean counter decided that was a good idea.

same on who told them not to glass the drain holes in the stringers

you gonna explain the finger or what?

rubber finger...my daughter was playing a joke.:nut:

:P

Lol

Same thing on my Grady. I guess it was just par for the course back then.

The first picture (above the bloody finger picture) looks like a lot of the structural integrity of the splash well and top cap has been cut away.

I saw where you had a plan to repair it:
"I'm hoping to do the structural glassing from the inside, since I have access to the inside of the cuts through hatches."

I'm repairing the transom of my latest project, a Glastron HPV-175, from the inside. I've removed the gas tank and rotten wood and am basically laying on the floor of the boat working with outstretched arms and in cramped quarters.

Good luck on working thru the hatches on yours.
