PICS!!!

Ok, so the boat is in the backyard now and the city should be happy....



I jwanted to get a better look at the transom so I removed the aluminum around the top of the transom and this is what I found



I think I see why the transom is soft, so the first order of business is to start cutting!!!!

I think I'm going to try to use the Coosa board. When I get it I'll take pics and let you guys know what I think of it (bare in mind I'm a novice...at best...so there will be a lot of "Learn as I go" type stuff going on) Some of the guys on the classic mako site seem to love the stuff and I haven't heard any negitive. I hope that means I'm on the right track!!!!

Now for the big question...Should I remove the whole cap or just cut it a few feet in front of the transom? The way I see it, cutting would be easier, but after looking fairly close at the boat it seems to me that I'll have to make sure to make the repair to to the cap strong since it looks like the cap adds to the over all strength of the hull (the sides seem pretty flimsy). On the other hand, removing the whole cap would be a severe pain in the @#$ (but doable....kinda :-[) Decisions Decisions......
