OH MY GOD, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, gas $3.57/gal. awesome.
I would start with the transom, once you are done with that, rip out and replace the stringers. Wet foam removal when you are waiting for stuff. My $29 4.5" Skil grinder with 24" grit sanding disks was my best friend and almost made it through the project.

My 1st advise would be to go back w/a 25" transom...
 Great pics!!...keep us posted on the progress...I assume yer fiberglass literate...I'm not so it would be a sharp learning curve for me...you can probably assume all the coring need to be replaced stem to stern...

What kind of experience do you have with these type of projects? Just curious, I had very little and my project is coming along nicely albeit slow.
I really like getting my fiberglass and fillers from boatbuildercentral.com and I get my epoxy resin from U.S. Composites. I bought my fiberglass rollers from Tap Plastics. I bought a whole arsenal but only use the 3/8" x 2" roller for rolling out the glass after wetting. I believe Kracker went with poly or vinylester resin for his rebuild. He can probably give you the best source for those products. Now back to gas. Here in the great state of NC we have some of the highest gas taxes in the country. This enables us to have nice roads and NO TOLL BOOTHS. Considering my highway gas is bought by my employer and I spend far more money on boat gas, I think I like your way. Problem now is they want to build toll booths here as well ("the way we did it up North") but you know those taxes won't come down. Welcome again Jay, sorry to hijack your thread.

No. North Carolina.
I have a little knowledge of glassing, but not on boats. Custom Stereo installs, lol. So I am an absolute newbie. I'll need all the help I can get. Yup. I plan on redoing from the deck down and the console. Are there any threads or videos for going to a 25" transom? Looks like the process differs from that of other boats as far as replacing the transoms on these girls. I did see a recent thread that was posted (the one with the chainsaw), but wasn't sure what was going on in the photos. Looks like there was some kind of filler being poured in.
