It's 1000X's easier to hit the boat from the backside. If you cut that transom your done for this year. An Aluminum plate will get you out fishing for albacore and you can worry about the transom in 5years. Your transom just has a little rot at the top.

Maury, thanks for the imput. I have read your thread about half a dozen times, and you did a great job with that transom. I will be doing my transom, but not until after this season. It is really in good shape and I want to get the boat going. BigShrimp- thanks for the vote of confidence in the transom.I was thinking the same thing and you just solidified my desision. I will post pics of my minor fabrication work after I'm done.

Nice photos bigshrimpin, I am scared to tackle this project. Looks like you did everything right. I wuold have gone for St. Pauli Girl beer before a Heini but you did great work for the tools you had at hand.

Just shows my inadequite fiberglass ability.
