Ok, I have finally removed all of the wood I possible could. Now I just have to wait for some decent weather. If I learned anything from this it was to go and get the right tools. Chainsaw worked well but I was a little conservative with it. I went to the hardware store after I was done and saw some excellent drill bits and extensions that would have saved my arms. Now I need to order either the Nidabond or the Arjay not sure which one yet.

From my research I think Nidacore and Arjay are basically the same. Shop for price. You'll be happy with either. You got your resin to coat the insides?

Maury, I have read your transom post about a thousand times, that is what actually gave me the courage to try.

I have to fill in the notch in my transom and need to order some roving and mat along with the resin.

I was lucky - I didn't need to extend my transom. I'll say this - its nice to walk by my boat a year later and forget I did that work on it. Not having the transom painted or having a repair line anywhere is great. She still looks factory and that was my #1 reason for going the pourable route. I'm glad my post helped. Before you pour, make sure EVERY hole is covered - especially the inside drain plug hole in the bilge! :)

Been there and done that, Good luck. Pleanty of fun ahead. Whatever you do, dont remove the outter skin. Go with a bracket, but listen to M.J., bracket needs to be a certain height.
Post plenty of pics, : )-

It was both. The upper part was glass and the notch had nothing. I have all the wood out now and will be molding up the sides of the notch to get ready for the Arjay. Hammer I won't be cutting the skin but I am still kicking around the bracket idea and leaving the splashwell. Haven't seen to many with that setup (probably a reason for that) but it might be nice to have something different.

I did see a stainless marine bracket on ebay last night I was considering, but man the money adds up fast doing a project.
