Wow, blast from the past, glad ur back BF.

So the boat hasn t. been used in 14 years? Your a very patient person or a very careful planner. The good news is you now have YouTube to guide you through the whole process, bad news is the price of everything has tripled.

Skunkboat has a very good video explaining the pour cast method,but i would think you would need to address the stringers also. Depending on where the soft spots are in the deck, that all might have to come up also.

Whatever you decide, keep us in the loop and take plenty of pics

How much would it cost to get a repair shop to rebuild the transom?

What is your engine shaft length? Primarily freshwater, lake use or open water?

If you have a choice, bigger is better
