You guys are right, no woven just a few layers of matt. And the thickness is about 1/4" as in the pic compared to the pencil. Anyone ever had the transom outer skin apart on a Moesly? I think this boat is a real early one. I can't tell if the transom has been redone for sure but it doesn't look so if i had to guess. Still working on the year of it.

Nice build threads Entourage and fdheld, thanks but both jobs you were able to leave a small lip around the outside edge to keep the form and strength. Mine is cracked right to the corner so it makes it more of a challenge to me. The corners are the strength and form so to redo the corners the right way is where i need some pointers/steps before i hack the inside away, maybe i should leave it intact. But if i do that i wont be able to tab the outside new skin very far into the sides or bottom for strength. Actually yours Entourage is pretty close to flush at the bottom isn't it.

Yes very close on the bottom I overlapped at bottom of keel about 8 inches.

So you wrapped around and adhered to hull bottom. Didn't that make like a hump at the end of the bottom? or did you pre grind it out?

Mr Moesly used to run around the factory and drill holes in new boats just to double check hull thickness. Or so the story goes. No way he let a Seafari go out with a transom laid up with 2 layers of mat and no structural glass.

Rip it all out and fix it :).

.....and post lots of pictures !

Regardless whether it's a Moesly or a Potter, the original transom would have been alternating layers of mat and roving. That's definitely not the original outer skin. Only an inexperienced and poorly informed amateur would use an all mat layup on a transom laminate.
