I think he hollowed out the existing transom so all of the fiberglass is intact along the sides.
I think I'll be doing the same but I don't think I want to remove the entire cap.
I don't want to cut the outer skin either. The transom on V20s are not flat and I don't want to mess with that. That's why pouring a transom seems the way to go.
The problem is getting at the parts of the transom that are under the cap.
Thinking of cutting the cap from the stern up into each hole for the lids, near the hinges, then from the front corner of the lid opening down to the spashwell floor and across. Should come out in one piece.
I THINK that will get me a big opening to access the transom and I will have access to glassing it back together thru the lid openings and the battery door opening. Opinions welcome.....
