I got some filleting material in that I need to filet the inner transom skin back in and to help fillet the tabs that I will leave up from the old stringer glass. Hopefully I can get some work done soon. It's tough right now because only time to work is before the fronts pass.

sorry it took so long for me to update my progress.

Shrek, the transom was pretty bad but the repair would have held up fine if the stringers weren't bad. From what I saw, it looked like all the stress was being put on the stringers through that brace the fiberglass man made to compensate for the soft transom.

I was able to put in about 10 hours of work on the hull. The majority of the work came in the form of grinding out old fiber glass that allowed water to seep in between the orginal lay up and the repair lay up. The repair was some thick stuff, probably 3 layers of roven with mat on top. This was in the bilge area by the transom. After all the grinding, I was able to take a 36 grit disc and grind down and feather in all the areas that the new glass would contact the old glass. After all the grinding was complete, I put some patched over existing holes, so when I pour the Arjay, it won't leak out.

Now I just need to trim the inside skin and glass that into place so I can pour the arjay. My arjay sat the whole winter. So I am curious to see if it is still good or not. I hope so, but I don't want to break the seal and pour a test sample to see if it gels before it's time to pour.

I will try to get some photos up tomorrow.

all tabbed in with 2 layers of 1708. Everything went on really good. I really liked using the 1/2" chopped strands from us composites to make my own cat hair with. Way better to work with than the bondo stuff, plus I didn't have to worry about the wax like I would with the bondo hair.

Tomorrow I should be able to glass a small cap where the transom top and sides are. After that sets, then I can pour in the Arjay. Once that sets then I can glass it all up and be finished with the transom rebuild.
