Well.... I cut of the transom cap tonight and was crushed to find rotten plywood mush is all I have in there. I also found that some previous hackery had been performed with bondo, resin ,mat, etc. I could literally scoop out most of the wood with a spoon!. I drilled a few small test holes on inner skin and after drill penetrated the fiberglass....nothing!. I'm amazed how rigid this transom feels considering its hollow! Oh well got that of my chest, I'm gonna have at it tomorrow with the spoon followed by the chainsaw. Arjay looks real good for this project, will be searching for nearest supplier to MA, any suggestions?
