Transom repair

[SkunkBoat]

yesterday was slow going. Tried to remove the remains of the wood from the edges using the auger bit and a tiny flat bar. Wasted most of a day before making the move to the chain saw. I had bought a 14" electric at Harbor Freight (under $50) just in case but I was kind of afraid to try it.

GREATEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD!!!!!!

Of course, you do have to be careful (said the guy using a chain saw for an unintended purpose).

Starboard side was super easy because of the angle. Port side got pretty awkward toward the top because you had to be sort of upside-down. Still way faster than my other method. You would be surprised how the side of the chain rides along the fiberglass.
