Seacast Transom Repair

HI
Does anyone know how much seacast I would need to fill my v20 transom. Also, if i want to raise my transom in the center from 20" to 25" can I build a waxed wood form to pour the seacast in for the last 5".
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Search for "Maury's" thread. He used 15 gallons when he did his with a similiar,maybe better material. Either Arjay or....ah, I can't remember. Look around in repairs or mods

Well i started to drill out a little of the old wood in the transom today and it didn't turn out like i had expected. I was using a spade bit and it kept falling between the two pieces of delaminated plywood and getting stuck and it ran down my drill batteries faster then they could charge so I'm going to use a big electric drill now =). Later i went to harbor freight and got auger type bits. they should work better. I'm going to try the new bits and the chainsaw tomorrow if i can. =)

DRJ,

Call me and I'll be happy to give you more details of my rebuild. Can I ask why you chose Seacast?
