wellllll, i surfed all the transom repairs, and they sure run the gamut from down and dirty to rebuild the whole boat. think i'll end up somewhere in between. from the info i've gathered, there is likely stringer rot also. i REALLY don't want to go there. due to the splash well, it looks like i'd have to pull the entire cap (bow to stern, it's a cuddy/walk thru windshield model) to get to the aft deck, bilge sump etc. still thinkin' cutting the aft (outside) off to get everything clean enough to re-pour, w/ treated ply, foam, honeycomb, or whatever is best for backbone. i was also directed to another site that has good info but i won't mention the french word for boat and a number between 1 and 3. still scratchin' my watch and winding my butt on this one. --- cut it or no???? thats the question. i'll do a poll on it. what do y'all think?
