Hammer's transom Rebuild

[parishht]

Now I know who to get when mine needs a transom repair. ;) ;) ;) ;) ;D ;D

Good job HAMMER, I can't wait till my doctor totally releases me from my neck surgery,
Then I can get back to donig heavy work and not just this puttering sh!t.

I am hoping that a few things come together for me as planned,
and if they do, I will be using seacast.

Parishht, I think Stink was gonna use Seacast, since he was sawing out the transom. I think its good stuff, I didnt use it because I had concerns about its strenght above the outter skin since I was raising the transom 5".
I dont know how SKOOL does it. Its for sure a two man job pulling out the splash well.

Chesapeak: I wanna see Picks of that project V. Sounds scary and exciting. *;D ;D ;D
Thanks AIR and CY. Going out to Home Dpot to look at the wod that SKOOL said to get. Maybe go with 3/4 or with 1/2 as Mulv stated. Not sure just yet.

Today I gotta get the rest of the rotted would out and start grinding away at the fiberglass as to where i will be reglassing and patching

I plan on screwing each piece, but should I use just good deck treated screws or should I use stainless. *???

I'm home. *;D ichy as hell to. :-/
Didnt get as much as I wanted to get done today. The heat was kicking my a$$ and geting the plywood off the transom was a pain. DOnt know how SKOOL does it, power chissel *??? ??? ???. I had putty knives, hammer, pry bar along with my $" grinder, trying to get every bit of wood off the transom. But I finally got it done. ;D

Still have alot more prep work to do, before putting in the wood. Want to get all the grinding out of teh way once and for all. The weekend is suposed to be super hot as well. *:-/
