Transom Dust....

[oldbluesplayer]

went with the drill, and hammer and chisel route, took me a couple hours to clean out the bottom pocket.

You got a ton o' holes there - was there a plate bolted on? Are you going to add a layer of glass to the inner transom, before or during the transom replace ?

Looks like you left the original drain tube in place - planning on leaving that in thru the transom replace, or just haven't pulled it out yet ? If leaving it in, did you leave any wood around it ?

Mine looks just about like yours at this stage.
