Hey,

Yor boat looks awesome ! I started redoing my 75 cuddy v20 I am handy but I never did a transom and only used fiberglass one other time. I am curious how many layers of cloth did you use on the inner skin of your new transom? also what weight cloth? I am about to get all the stuff I need 105 & 205 & 404 West system, just not sure about the cloth. Also curios about how many gallons of resin did you need on your transom? I sent some pics. Thanks

Be sure to use a chain saw and mill all that ply wood out in photo 4 of 5 , It work like a champ for me..

The cloth i used is called 1208. It is 12oz cloth woven at 0/90 degrees. and has .75oz of mat on one side. The purpose of the mat is to help pull the resin into the thick strands of cloth. I layed one layer of ply onto the transom and then put a layer of glass on. then the next layer of ply and then two layers of glass. all of the seams or edges i put a strip all the way around. Make sure you you stagger your seams of cloth. Google transom repair till it makes you sick. There is nothing worse then realizing you did something wrong when you are just about done. Make sure you get everything completely spotless before you start glassing. Good luck
