Minor Sunday setback, called transom. As soon as i saw this boat i knew her ass looked a lil flat. I attributed it to an optical illusion form the globs of glue hanging off the back. Cleaned that up and looked even flatter, so made a pattern real quick and checked against my friends 20, not even close haha

Im thinking the kid i bought her from had the keel blocked up and no cap on when he did this... Gna take some numbers off my friends 20 and get her back into form.
I could tell the kid used alot of material, but nothing like this...
Ive never seen so much cobbled together s..t in my life! Its like he ran 1/4" of epoxy between every layer of glass he did. Bright side is her ass will be probably 75# lighter, and i can add a lil crown to the transom like all the ones i do.

Got smart and tried a chisel. Coulda popped the whole thing off in one piece if it wasnt for the 2" lip of original outside skin on the hullsides. It appears a grinder was not present for prep class that day
