I dont know much about wellcrafts and maybe there is enough *rigidity in there to keep it straight. That is my only reservation about pulling the cap, aside from coming up with a contraption to pull it off. That may be the best way to avoid unsightly cuts and get full access...
On another note Im real curious about the nida core pourable transom. Im gonna call them and pick their brains. Im gonna pull the top cap off the transom this weekend and see how rotten it is. If it is oatmeal and I think I can get most of it up through the top then Ill seriously consider pouring it.

I looked at you pics and I think yours is older than mine which is a 1983. I had no problems at all keeping the hulls shape. My inner skin came off by taking off the rube rail and removing all the screws which held the inner and outer skins together. Of course we had to remove the seat, CC and the motor. After everything was removed it lifted right out with a pully system we rigged in a tree. the entire floor, inner sides etc.. just popped right out. We fixed the transom and lowered it back in and we were good to go.
