Transom flatness
About a year ago I completed my transom restoration. I removed ALL the wood from the transom without removing the fwd or aft sheets of fiberglass, excepting some chainsaw scars. I used 5/8” plywood with two 2” x 4” horizontal pieces for bracing the full width of transom. No screws into the fiberglass sheets, but well clamped and braced to the trailer, splashwell and whatever I could clamp to or push from, all before the Seacast pour. With the plywood firmly clamped the gap at the left and right sides of the plywood to the transom was maybe 3/16” of so making me wonder if the transom had ever been truly planar. In any case the aft sheet is flat for about 2’ either side of ETEC centerline. BTW I braced the fwd sheet with appropriate sized plywood as well
