Default Re: another transom job in the works -

Congratulations on finishing up your transom.

I am not trying to rain on your parade....However, I think I would it is very important to point out to others who may lack boat building or boat repair knowledge that this IS NOT the way most professionals rebuild transoms. The most accepted way amongst the boat building community is to remove the rear section of the liner, remove rotten core material, recore transom in one solid piece from the inside, and then reglass in the liner back in place.

Cosmetically, it is the most invasive method. Structurally it is the best method and of course, as with most things done right...it is the most time consuming method.
