1982 v20 cc tranny & other mods

[TSP]

Nipper & KEEPINGITREEL: Imagine the shock I got when I took the cap off & saw that mess. The last owner put the boat in a slip for 2 years (yes in the water) and the transom holes leaked into the core. When I was cleaning out the rotted wood I noticed it had started from the top to the bottom. The only advantage is that it was fairly easy to clean with a air chisel & grinder. Attached pics of the transom install. The first pic is a template I made to cut the 3 panels. Tnks for the good luck, need it.

[TSP]

The transom was raised to 25" and I used 3 - 3/4" marine grade panels sandwiched w/ glass. The final result is a transom so hard u can literally slam it with a giant sludge hammer as hard as you want & it won't move.

[TSP]

I first made the deck-pan piece form apart, then glassed it in the opening inside & out. I made the pan as shallow as possible to use like a platform to exit & aboard the boat easier.

The hull was leveled to later level the deck and make sure the drains work properly.

I spent dozens of hours applying mixes of cabosil with resin & body filler to make it straight & smooth.

More hours of work...

Happy New Years to all.

After having to put the V20 to a side to fix some roof leaks & painting the home (have to keep the wife happy), I'm glad to resume the work on the V.

I'm going to install a anchor roller & rope pipe, but in a custom way. These pics show the mod & primer. Next, correct all the smaller flaws that appear by the hundreds after the primer.
