Default New Transom for the 23' Seacraft

Started into the project, will get more pics up as soon as possible but here are a few to start:

Dug out the transom which of course was rotten (why the boat was available in the first place) and also the engine beds. Never have I seen such saw dust as in the engine beds. Good for a laugh though. Here is the new transom laminated from the outside- has two layers of 3/4 MDO ply using all epoxy and biaxial cloth. Fillers I used were a mix of cabosil and 1/16" chopped glass fiber. Was able to remove the hull cap and slide it forward, making it very easy to install the new plywood by sliding down from the top.

Boy I'm getting excited:

Here is a donor boat/ motor/ trailer I picked up. Never liked a searay... time to cannibalize!
