Transom & Stringer Replacement

[I'll Go]

Not sure about the stringers yet phatdaddy; wanted to get some advice from you guys first. Both you and Skunkboat have confirmed my thoughts about the foam. I suspected that was the only foam in the boat. As for the pourable, I used Seacast on the Chapperral transom and stringers. I like it. It's much harder than wood, it floats, you can drill it...you can even tap it if you want to mount something without drilling all the way through it. However, it is a little pricey. phatdaddy, the deck is spongy, has a lot of give if you walk across it. You know, that kind of puzzles me that a Wellcraft wouldn't have floatation in it. I wonder if it would hurt to put some in the sides; forward and aft of the rod holders or would it be a waste of time and money. I think what I may do is see if Seacast will match the Arjay price. If so, I'll do my transom and stringers with Seacast. One last question Skunkboat, when you removed your motor did you just take the top off the transom and try getting all the wood out from the top? Did you use a long paddle bit and a chainsaw or did you get it all out some other way? Thanks for all good information gentleman
