PVC board is cheap.

Besides vinyl, you could use some cheap plywood and cover it with clear packing tape.

When you say "dam" you mean you're going to pour between outer transom and a temporary wall, then remove the wall after it sets and glass over? You need to be sure there are no leaks! (you saw my video).Be aware that the transom on a V20 is not flat across so if you use a flat template or dam, you will be thicker on the centerline. You going to have to think that thru...

I would probably glass a couple layers of skin to the template with excess tabs hanging over sides, pop it loose and glass that in place(keep your 1.5" thickness of transom). Then use the template as a brace for your pour.

Ok. I see. Make a template out of PVC board. "Laminate" that. Seperate those 2 and tab the inner skin in then fill. Seems like a good plan. I guess I can make some sort of jig to curve the template as I glass it then use it again to reinforce the inner skin while I pour.

Unfortunately I haven't gotten to touch the boat this weekend. Trying to shorten the infinite honey-do list as much as I can so when I order $1000 work of fiberglass and core material maybe it will ease the burn. Probably not though.
