Had to take a break to run mom to the store to get stuff to fry the mullet I caught yesterday. So far I have all the plywood off the starboard side, all but a skin in the middle, and half off the port side. Next will be cleaning it up with a cup wire wheel on my side grinder. Also it must matter having the stringers tied correctly to the transom. When i cut the glass skin off i cut a "u" around the stringers. On the starboard side i pulled the tabbing off the stringer with no effort. It was already broke. Port side transom/stringer tabbing is still solid. Kracker you did your transom core all in one piece didn't you? Due to my bracket design, I am only installing one piece of marine ply in the transom and would like to do it in one piece if possible for the most strength. I know you did two layers, but did you cut each layer into pieces?
So far all the core has been wet. It has been abouy four or six months since I removed the outboard and swim platform.
