I was in the process to modify the Transom down to a 20" because of my engine, Here is what I found she was clearly water logged..


I remove the outside skin to simplify the process, some pros will question this, I did it because I KNOW it will have it back on stronger than before :)
Its important to observe where I cut, it was done this way to have the best area to work with when putting it back together etc..


Nice and clean, notice the skin is paper thin? not to mentioned the holes..


Skin back on, not sure if you notice the mat and resin job on the inside, however I can assured the skin was thicker and stronger that how it was on previously


Ready to pour, the holes I miss was around the new drain tube at the bottom, on the inside, most of the stuff ended up in the Boat!
I used 2x4 wood to cap the open top and secure it with very strong aluminium tape, risky but it worked, my pour was done using a safety cone and poured in from the rub rail area, this stuff flows like water, unlike Seacast, which in my opinion is a great option for the stringers because of the fibre strands which will be better for impact and flexing?
