Default Re: Transom Swells about half an inch

This stuff has been talked about a lot here, We had a member here that used it, but after the repair he disappeared and we never did get to find out the end result???

Getting all the wood out is the hard part!

As for there being a hole big enough for this stuff to go into the bottom of the boat, I don't believe thats a problem.

But most of these boats that have a transom replaced also have some damage to the stringers in the bilge.

This is were I think the real problem is with the Seacast, you have to repair the stringer and you want it to be part of the transom for support, and secast does not stick to wood.

You could just bring the stringers to the inside shell and glass them to the shell with knee boards, But I think it would be much stronger all around to make them as much as one as you can.

So I still think removing the inside shell and repair with wood is the best way to go.
