I'll be watching this pretty close. It's looking really good now. I hope to gain a lot of knowledge, I may have to do mine soon.


As to the Kodak easy share, I also have one, but dont use the supplied software that came with it. I just download from the SD card straight to my computer and it works like any other picture.

So after the new wood is installed, he will wet the wood with West System, so I am guessing that will bond to the outer skin ? ???

If mine ever goets to that point, it'll get put back as a straight, 25" transom and eliminate the 20'' notch...even if I gotta find extension for Honda foot ;) ...that's some great lookin' work, Warner...keep the pics and info flowin' 8) ...and thanks for the assist, Hammer ;) ;D ...you da MAN!!...

IF I were putting it back together, I would probably scuff the inside surface, wet out a piece of heavy cloth with epoxy, then 1 sheet of wood, cloth, wood, then outer skin.

There is also the chance that I would do it wrong :o

hey ,that fiberglass is some nasty stuff huh! Ive rebuilt a few transoms on wooden and glass boats,its a tough job. I did all mine from the inside. I left the outer skin in place to have something to clamp and screw the plyboard to.I used all the holes where swim platform,steps,gimble ect were mounted to put a 2x2 inch block with a stainless steel screw through to pull the plywood tight to the existing glass until the resin squeeses out everywhere.Use plenty of resin. Avoid all air pockets.looks like youll need a lot of long clamps.Check out Wellcraft v20 transom repair,they have some good ideas you might could use.I bought my resin,catylist and chopped mat from local boat builders .I talked with Carolina Classic builders,They use douglass fir,said the resin adheres to it better than pine marine ply.I used marine ply ,it came out fine.looks like you have it under control,keep a eye on the shape of your transom,dont lose that curve!

clefton...to do one from the inside, doncha have to remove the cap?...sounds painful...I guess that's why he went from outside...I think I would... ;) ...

Another way to do it from the inside is to cut out the splashwell and rear portion of the liner. Its a lot of work to do and glass back in. The guy down the street from me does it that way most times.
