Trasom repair from the outside...
If I ever have to tackle my transom, this is the method I intend to use. Great write up on how to do the job:

Re: Trasom repair from the outside...
That is the classic way to replace the transom. The few people that I know about that have done that or acquired a boat that had that done complained about the joints cracking because of the stress. This is not to say that this method is good or bad. Most likely it is related to the quality of work and not the method. As for me I don't like the idea of cutting factory molds unless absolutely necessary. :-/

Re: Trasom repair from the outside...
Thats great info there you posted AIR. Only thing that is confusing is that I think he never replaced his outer skin. I thought I have seen guys screw the outter skin back on after they have wetted it back on. ??? ???
I guess this is just another way of doing it.

Re: Trasom repair from the outside...
Now one thing I am sure of (and this is probably why the cracks came into play) that pouring or applying resin vertically should prove to be a SOB.

Re: Trasom repair from the outside...
I know ya'll are going to research this to no end before starting on your boat but another fly in the ointment is the fact that this guys boat has a flat transom whereas most V's (at least mine and Reels) don't.
