made some good progess today.started out by marking the bracket/bolt lacations on the transom skin. triple checked that and then dilled the skin, transom core, and 2x material for clamping. i put another layer of 1708 on the core and loaded the inside of the original skin with a pretty wet epoxy/cabosil and laid a pretty heavy bed of thick paste for the core to sit in. pretty much trying achieve something similar to what Strick showed for his last project(i think i've looked at that thread 137 times now
)
it took two of us to get the new core in place and put in the 10 bolts and c clamps. the results ended up pretty darn staight, though.
