oldscool: your welcome to them ill be going new. As much as i like cool, older stuff i dont plan on going through all this to put old back on.
After being down with the kung flu for a week ive been able to get some demo done. Have her stripped down to the stringers and removed the inner skin of the transom. For the most part i left a 1 1/2" tab of the outside edge of the inner skin to attach to the new transom. Transom was like mulch, as expected. Will hopefully get new transom in within the next few weeks as long as weather temps cooperate and i can source materials. Planning on going with 1 1/2" coosa board for transom. Not sure what system i want to use, but planning the whole build for epoxy.
The stringers are pretty rough. Cracked all over the place. I am planning on raising them and wrapping with additional glass anyway so not the end of the world.
What do you guys think of height of transom cutout? ive read a few different things and it sounds like 26" is the way to go?
What do you think about how much to raise stringers? I want it to be self bailing, so i was leaning towards a minimum of 2".
Never tackled a project of this scope so any input/critisim is appreciated. Have only ever done small glassing projects and a boat load of studying on here.
