well i have finally decided to do my transom and put a tuna door in and good thing i did because it was all soaking wet and rotten.i used 2 sheets of 3/4'' plywood and in the first layer i used cabosil to sandwich it to the outer skin and clamped it from both sides to squeeze it all tight.after that had dried i used chop strand to sandwich in between the two layers of plywood and then used stainless deck screws to hold it all together. once all that was cured i put a layer of 1708 on the inside and tabbed both corners with 2 more layers of 1708. after all that was cured i could figure out how big of a door i could fit without inter fearing with my steering and my trim tabs.i was able to fit a 28''x25'' door, pretty happy with that, once i cut the door out i was able to make the side braces and the ramp/floor extension to box everything into place and glassed them in using 1708. after i got some body work done i rolled three coats of gel coat on. next will be to finish the body work on the cap and get it glassed back in. all in all its solid and not going anywhere.
