Nice one Alex!, very grateful for the tip, I will definitely make up one of your "super chisels", I have some 1" square bar that would probably be good for this. I was amazed how bad the rot was in mine, it went right up the whole transom into the areas where tow hooks are. Are you planning to do pourable?, I saw a guy somewhere who did a great job using ply strips cut to the thickness of the transom and stacked them laid flat one piece at a time using epoxy. From what I've seen its unusual, but sounds feasible, the guy is a structural engineer and figured this would be strong, and I guess retains properties of original ply transom without having to tear whole boat apart. Must have been cheaper for the materials than straight pourable too. I am thinkingg Arjay pourable for mine, seems to be popular and successful, I haven't heard any horror stories either!. Do you have pictures?, I'd love to see em. Thanks again, Steve.
