Transom before and after extension. I did this by building an insert out of 4 sections of 6mm marine ply laminated together with epoxy, then glassed over top with 6 layers each side of 1708 biaxial glass, also with epoxy. Then the insert was glued into the transom cutout, and galssed over with another 6 layers either side of 1708, wrapped over the top, and also run up the corners of the motor well, to further re-enforce the transom to the well. Its pretty f'ing strong now!
Also drilled out the motor well drain holes and glued in fiberglass tube to replace the plastic press fit drains that were there. Very clean looking once complete. I also did this to the bait well and cooler drains. Next winter I plan to do the same upgrade to the cockpit drains.
Deck re-core with rotten core removed, and with core laid in, before glass. The deck at the bow section was totally rotten, and got completely re-cored, and there were some smaller sections on the starboard side that were also done.
