- Added 5 inches back to transom, where it was cut down to a 20" transom by a previous owner. (This one I was concerned with, and we didn't really commit to just adding 5 inches vs a total transom rebuild, until we cut into what was there, and the wood was dry and no signs of rot. I think the fact that the original transom was cut down and glassed over by a previous owner, is ironically what saved the transom from rotting). With the help of a friend that is much more talented/knowledgable than me, we cut to fit and epoxied two 3/4"pieces of mahogany together, then cut notches for "wedges" into the new piece and the original transom. Mated the 2 together and let dry. A few days later we cut and epoxied in 2 sheets of heavy glass. Here's a few pics of that....
