Thank you Destroyer as that post was a big motivator for me to make the transom as perfect as possible.( almost like a "I'll show him" I've been carrying since December - LOL) Don't know how any hours I have into it but probably 3-4 times what I should have. If I were to do it again I would pull the liner and cut from the inside but at the time it was just going to be a transom job with no plan to pull the liner. When we aligned the cut out panel we built a jig screwed on to the panel on the outside to keep the curvature while glassing the extension to make it a 25" transom.

She's in
Finally went in July 17th, 1 year and 1 month late due to a major medical issue that raised its head last Sept, mis diagnosed as Diverticulitis, changed doc's Jan 1st and was diagnosed Prostate Cancer , stage 4b. Jan/Feb I could hardly walk. Had my last (6th) cycle of chemo July 15th 2 days before launch but battled thru this **** got it done.
I can fix a lot of **** but had to bring in some outside help on this one. Have a great team of doctors, a very aggressive treatment plan ADT/Hormone/Chemo all at once and so far the results are outstanding! Most of my time since diagnosis was researching treatments and I'm gona fix this **** just like I did the boat! Enough of that back to the boat My son now hates the 2021 170 Montauk now that he has his V20. I feel the same way. V20 hull is the ride. I told the family why dont we get rid of the whaler and find a center console V20 and do it up. they looked at me like I had 6 eyes in my head. I think the kids are on their 3rd tank of gas (70gal tank) Water sking,wake boarding, fishing, cruising.

Only comment I will make is about the transom. Most people do not realize that it's curved, not straight across, so they cut away the back glass and leave the interior part of the transom sandwich like you did. (Which is exactly backwards from the way it should be done which is to leave the outside and just cut the inside glass). Damage is done, so no way to change it. Just be careful when building the new transom, try and get it back as close to original as possible.
