Default Re: 1973 20' CC Transom woes

I'm hoping someone will weigh in with an opinion on my description of the transom condition, and the absolute need for new transom vs. digging out the core and filling it with ???
I did my transom with Arjay. However just "digging out the core" ain't all it's cracked up to be. To go with a ceramic pourable compound there can be no leaks in the inner skin or anywhere. The odds of getting all the old wood and crap out of a 1 1/2" creavace without poking a hole some where is slim. I went with cutting off the transom and cleaning all the way to raw fiberglass, patching all holes and re-attaching the skin. When finished the Arjay it's as hard as can be and will never rot. If you have the transom done with plywood, coosa, whatever the transom still comes off. I'm assuming you have looked a the Hermco site to see how it's done and how much is involved?
