Transon Repair Progress

[joe7670]

Couldn't do it, just scoop out stuff so went down a little with saw. Looks better but still used scoop and fill to the sides where it has a little bit.

Moving along. Holes are not fully sealed yet, but another day or so and they will be.

Cut out wood, glassed on inside, put wood, glassed on outside.

I could only do 2 layers of wood as I was using 3/4 marine ply. So on the outside, i've having to build it up with glass.

Nice work Joe. I wish I knew how to glass.

Almost ready for barrier coat and paint on transom. Will wait to do the rest of the hull bottom for applying paint, but will work on barrier coat soon.

Epoxy with filler worked quite nice and sanded very well as a fairing coat.

Keeping a good eye out for a bracket preferably with a platform for this puppy.

Bet a 24 pack with my cousin that it will be in the water by Nov. 1st. Gonna be very tough but worse case I'll be drinking a 24 pack with him. LOL

Wohhh. Sticker shock!

Actually looking for a used one. The guys at Stainless Marine are local and make a heck of a platform, but hopefully in the next month or so I run across a decent priced used unit.
