A few pics of the tear out of the old transom. The boat originally had a notched transom. You can see from the pics that whoever closed in the transom never actually removed the old one, they just added a piece of ply to the notch and puttied it in place. Once the brackets that were holding the engine and bracket to the stringers were removed, it basically fell apart. Glad I decided to do this now instead of running it for another year.
