Re: the mother of all project 20's
too bad they chopped all the glass off the transom. I would have thought that going from the inside and retaining the outer skin would have made a whole lot more sense. Oh well...

Re: the mother of all project 20's
I'm trying to convince mine to let me put a bid in on it. She's holding her ground. Maybe if I get some of her projects done around the house...?

Re: the mother of all project 20's
Well, I wouldn't prefer to do a transom that way. However I don't thank that it would be that big of a deal. Just feather the old glass out as much as possible and start building a new outer skin. Make sure that the inside is all tied in good. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: the mother of all project 20's
Brian,
I saw this boat over the weekend. This boat may have more structural damage other than the transom. The hull to deck joint on the port side rear has opened up for about six feet. the fiberglass liner is distorted on the starboard side between the front casting deck and the rod holder area. the same area on the port side is distorted and split open. I am not trying to discourage your puchase, but you may have to rebuild the stringers on this boat. STRESS |

Re: the mother of all project 20's
OK fellas its my boat. Don't bash it too bad. I bought it about 3 months ago and started working on it when I got a set of orders recalling me for active duty for uncle sam. My orders are for me to depart end of feb, which is why I am selling it. The guy who came and looked at it was fairly accurate on everything except the stringers. They are hollow pieces of thick fiberglass, no wood in them. The transom was cut prior to me owning it but I would have done same way. I have been looking at peel-ply for the finishing of the transom and am currently trying to get some to play with from Rampage Yachts. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Wife said it has got to go before I leave or she'll give it away.
