Got a little free time and removed the glass over the transom core. I think for its age the transom is in ok shape. I was expecting worse. But the only bad areas are where holes were drilled. Yet the top engine mount holes had no soft. Trying to remove the plywood now.
Here are a few pics. Notice how much was cut off the stringers where they attach to the transom. And still trying to figure out the hole above the bilge plug hole.

I tried four times to upload pics. Not happening. Kracker my stringers are not attached either. Yet they are cut perfectly to match the transom curve. Do i need to leave this last layer in the transom for lifting and moving the boat or can i remove it?

Ok I am bored. Rest of the plywood is coming out. Also cut the lifewell off the bottom of the cap. It has a half inch of either insulation or a composite material around it. So it might actually be an insulated fishbox and not a livewell.

The outside skin on my boat was thick enough that if you want to run an eyelet thru the glass you could to lift it. When my boat was gutted me and my buddy could lift the back of the boat off the trailer like it was nothing. Rip it out!!!! Lol!!!
