Trasom repair from the outside...

[Stillrunning]

THe reason I liked the way we did my transom in taking the boat apart was for several reasons.

1 It is a CC and we had the inner section out in one weekend.

2 If the tramson is bad there's a good chance you have stringer issues which with the boat apart you now have access to all of them.

3 You do not have to worry about finishing off the surface as you cannot see the repair (sanding smooth, painting, etc...)

4 If you flooring is soft you can also replace from the bottom and again you do not have to finish off as you would from cutting from above.

This is what I found out when doing a CC it might not be as easy with a cabin but I would not rule it out. We also ran new wiring at the same time. Also I found that my drain system from the front to back was all clogged up which i could only fix while the boat was apart. It did add the extra work taking it apart but it also eliminated all of the cutting out then finishing off from the out side.
