I spoke to soon about Francis....After the storm I went to take out my drain plug and the whole damn bung came off. So it looks like I am doing a transom job (maybe thats why the previous owner said the trim tabs fell off. I took off the cut out trim and found unlaminated fiberglass mat. So Im pretty sure the transom is shot or the person who re did the transom did a bad job.

I used a fiber optics wand and checked out the forward hull and found all the heavy woven roven in tact and the stringers looked great so Im not going to redo the floor except for the fuel hatch and live well hatch.

So here is my thoughts and please let me know what ya'll think. My SC is an '84 23cc....I want to make it a full transom (no cut out) and make the stern look like an I/O but with a bracket mounted O/B. The splash board would actually be horizontal cabinet door.....Am I making any sense? If so continue...The fiberglass work is no problem Seafarer in Ft. Lauderdale sells sheets of fiberglass so Im thinking if I enclose the transom area with plywood and laminated the fiberglass to it and fair it out it should look good...right? so Im asking....am I on crack or can this be done? And what about a transom door? [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
