well today is the day that I install and glass my new transom!!!!!! Im sitting here drinking some coffe waiting for the temp to come up, Its suppose to be 65 here in va beach today. I will take plenty of pictures and document all stages. im gonna be using the allthread method drilling holes through the outer skin and through the core and tighten them down to clamp core and glue them together at once. and a thickened resin between core layer and outer skin and core with a 1/4 inch knotch trowel to distribute thickened resin on the surfaces. Wish me luck fellas!!!!

Sometimes we make our own luck. Sounds to my like you have this one covered already without any luck involved. Just take your time and you'll be fine. Remember to have your wife take pics of you and the transom. That way you don't get resin on the camera.

everything went awesome today!!!! I am an amatuer at this and if i have any word of advice to someone who is replacing the transom or the sole in a boat is to build the project in your head over and over before you start!!! make sure all needed materials are close and ready at hand. It makes everything go so much easier. My transom core install today went perfect. Pictures will be up soon.

I did some other stuff today. After glueing and plugging my holes for my console I laid a single layer of 1.5 CSM over the plugs and then faired with 3M premium. I also rebuilt a corner of my console that was cracked.
