Transom repair - Here we go..... (long)

[Skools Out]

yeah how hard is it to drill and how well can you mount stuff in the transom with screws? don't cap it with metal glass it over rounded like new boats looks better and never an issue,

here ya go

before



after primer and glassing





after paint

I was hoping to not have to paint and do any finish work. I don't want it to look like a patch job. But I may consider that. I know the cap won't do anything but provide looks. As fas as screwing an drilling, I'll get to that next. I haven't begun to remount anything yet.

Looks great! Whoever redid my transom glassed over the top like skools did. Awesome pics and good commentary. I might be picking up a project boat that I know needs transom work and I don't really want to get into pulling the cap.

Did you use all 15 gallons? and if not is there a formula to figure out how much material is needed for the thickness and area of the transom?

[spareparts]

along the same question that Bradford asked. Did all 15 gal go to the V, or did you do your little boat also?

WOW, who is this guy ????, look at all I have missed !!!. Great work man, Hats off to ya. Cant believe the cost either, and the time as well you saved. I must have put out $1800.00 to redo my transom myself, plus the super long hours I put in as well.
Again, great job brother, glad to have ya hear as a member to help others out.
