I know that I could learn a few things from a post like that.

At the time I never even thought of taking pics but I never had seen a site like this where others would like to see how it was done. Just let me know if you want a run down of the process I used. I had one friend who knew a little wiring, me and another had some wood working skills and knew how to work with fiberglass. It is not that hard of a job if you have a little skill. The best part of taking the boat apart is you can check your flooring, runners, etc. It only took three of us one day to have the boat in two sections.

Bill, check out Seacast Pourable Transon Repair. I have not used it myself but it could be a viable & economical way to repair your transom. Perhaps some of the GODs can shed some light into this option.

At those prices, this could be a good fix.
As long as the product does what it says it can.

It seems like you would still need to take the boat apart so you could makes sure you have a solid shell to pour into. If you just cut out the wood and framed out the top what happens if you have a hole in the inner shell (which I mean the fiberglass covering the transom)under the splash well. It seems like the product would run into the bottom of the boat in the bildge section. Maybe they addressed that part and I missed as I skimmed over it.
