clean out all the old wood then get either west system epoxy or MAS epoxy and mix it to harden slow. smother the new wood bottom and sides with epoxy then pour some in the transom hole and use a small roller to get the glass wet inside. then drive the new wood in and clamp at the top several times. wait about 3 days till it's dry and then cap the transom with new glass. it's not to hard. best is to use an electric chain saw without bar oil. that way nothing to cause the epoxy to delaminate.if you were to cut through the out side of boat it will not hurt except the paint job. but if so just glass ove the cut after you get the new wood in.

Skool, back when, I used to go to Spartanburg Dragway most Saturday nites...one nite, Richard Petty showed up w/a MAXED-OUT Cuda; went head-to-head w/another old stocker named Cotton Owens (from Sptbg) in a Dodge Dart station wagon w/a 426 Hemi mounted behind the driver's seat...they ran several times...it was GREAT racin' action!!...we were back in the pits after one of those runs; Petty jumped outta the Cuda, madder than h-ll, sayin', "Pull them GD carbs off and give me somethin' that'll RUN!!"...he had just SMOKED Owens and I think set a new track record in the class...

Just imagine what you could do if you had my job!!

I go to work at 10pm for the State of MA.

I work a 10 hour shift, but I sleep at least 6 of them hours, sometimes more ;D I get out at 8am ready for the world!!

And I only work 4 days a week, with 14 holidays, 2 weeks vacation, 120 hours sick time, 3 personal days a year!

Its a tuff job but someone has to do it!!

Glad I ain't payin' taxes in the state of MA... ;D...CB, did it ever occur to you that you're SUPPORTING MJ?...can you use him as a deduction? ;D...

Admit it Rap, you Jelious!! of my job and CB!! :-*

chumbucket · #46 10-24-2005, 04:29 PM

Oh trust me RAP. The thought occurred to me more than once. And he's not the only one either.
I don't get to sleep on the job like MJ, but I do have a pretty good schedule too. Three 12 hour nights. They pay you for 40 hours and you're done for the week. That is excluding any overtime of course which I'll typically do one day a week at least depending on weather or what not.

Today doesn't look like a good over-time kinda day, then... ::)...

MJ, jealous only if you're field-testing supermodel thingy-tang for the governor... ;) ;D...

I had some real problems this whole year starting in Jan. with my wife's health.
After 3 hospital stays 3 operations, She is just now starting to walk again with the help of a walker.

So I had to put boating on the back burner for now. But the fish better watch out next summer, I have a year of frustration coming to the in the spring!!
