Default chainsaw

Had been working on this with auger bits, a few improvised tools, and a really long pair of needle nose pliers. Yesterday broke out the chainsaw... Man that is going to save alot of time, i took out a good 6 inches of wood in there in 20-30 minutes. Had to stop bc the blade was getting bogged down in the wet wood. Realized i never plugged up my scuppers on the deck, so some rain water was flowing into the transom (how the boat rotted in the first place). Plugged them up, hopefully will have the chance to dry today so i can get more out later on.

You can probably get away with just digging out as far as you can in all directions. Try really hard to sand both skins.

I wanted to be confident in the bond between the core and skins so i removed the inside to get access. The real strength comes from the bond of the "sandwich".

I would probably try making the cut only inside the motorwell. Might not be able to get the piece out though. Maybe just remove the motorwell and one side, if you follow what I'm saying.

Top came from Shore Towers in Brick,NJ many years ago. Top is a 1" hex-core sandwiched between 1/8" glass. Don't think he's doing it anymore. Had him make a repair and add some rod holders a few years back.

Atlantic Towers in Bayville,NJ does nice work.

They also make a semi-DIY kit for Radar arches also. Well constructed.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
