Close the transom and go with the bracket. I'm so happy with my current boat as a result. Besides, I'd really like to see this rig get the right treatment. Glad to hear you're busy, Case. Let me know how you like your glass guy; gonna have a major project of my own next winter.

Sorry I just noticed your post after all these months, my glass guy turned down the job because it was too big for him, but he does do really good work. He is very slow. I have a guy out of chauvin who is just as good and has done some work for me in the past. Let me know if you need his number.

Well, I was able to get the cap off my boat today. Was not as bad as I thought it would be. A forklift sure is one of the handiest piece of equipment for the marine industry. I am glad my grand pa picked up a new one last week.

After removing the cap, I am pretty sure I found why the transom was flexing so much. In the pictures below you can see that the rear of the stringers are pretty much gone. Cracked in two places on each side. In addition to that, where they had knees installed, the part that the knees connected to were soft and were cracked also.

Had some time today to work in the V. I plan on doing the transom 1st and get that squared away before I tackle the stringers.

More glass cut out


Stringers were past gone.

Exclamation

I could be wrong, but I thought resin wouldn't stick to pressure treated.

Figured I would say something before we found out the hard way.

Hate to say it, but I thought the same thing. Hope I'm wrong...

It normally doesn't due to the moisture content. These are kiln dried, that's the pic of the yellow moisture tag.

Good article
