I rebuilt mine back in 06. I cut the inside skin out with a grinder and cutting wheels to expose all the rotten wood. Cleaned it all out and glassed in marine plywood in three pieces and glassed it back over. I drilled a bunch of small holes in the outerskin and used wood screws and washers to pull the plywood tight to the outer skin as it squeezed it into the resin. Afterwards I filled all the holes, sanded it smooth and got my neighbor Who owns a car body shop to paint it with Emron color and clear. Still looks like new! Never had any problem with it since. It wasn't too bad of a job, just messy and dusty cutting the fiberglass. I got lucky, theres a Carolina Classic boat builder 20 miles from the house that sold me the resin and glass cheap. They were great. They use fir wood in their transoms, it absorbes the resin good.
