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!!!

Had to take a break to run mom to the store to get stuff to fry the mullet I caught yesterday. So far I have all the plywood off the starboard side, all but a skin in the middle, and half off the port side. Next will be cleaning it up with a cup wire wheel on my side grinder. Also it must matter having the stringers tied correctly to the transom. When i cut the glass skin off i cut a "u" around the stringers. On the starboard side i pulled the tabbing off the stringer with no effort. It was already broke. Port side transom/stringer tabbing is still solid. Kracker you did your transom core all in one piece didn't you? Due to my bracket design, I am only installing one piece of marine ply in the transom and would like to do it in one piece if possible for the most strength. I know you did two layers, but did you cut each layer into pieces?
So far all the core has been wet. It has been abouy four or six months since I removed the outboard and swim platform.

Also got a few questions. Is it worth the effort to build a cradle for the boat to avoid a hook in the hull?
And I want to do a transom door. Would one layer of plywood provide enough strength to allow this. I will build knees to help with stability. Also the transom is getting closed off. UNLESS, I use the existing motor slot as a transom door and build a closure that slides in and out for access and to keep water out?

Got the bulk of the transom plywood out. Whats left is skin in places. Tried to upload pic but all I get is invalid post specified. Not sure if its my phone. Kracker I was able to lift one corner of the transom off the trailer, which really surprised me. And i still have foam and stringers in it.
