I think I finally got it!

[Captn C]

Well I think I have my busted azz 25' SeaCraft patched up enough to last until the fall complete transom job.

I added 3" aluminum angle across all four bottom engine bolts and re-epoxied both knees. The angle spand from knee to knee and was etched so it would also bond at the knees. I also laid a plate over each engines bolt pattern to act as a 18" long washer.

I have felt for a whil;e that the splah well was no longer bonded the transom so I filleted it and glassed it to the transom before I put down the angle also. I also added two layers of glass to the top side of the splash well and tied that in to the repairs to the large cracks at the top of each side of the transom/slash well area.

I ran her 132nmiles last Saturday and we have no new cracks! The seas were not large, but it has cracked under fairly light use before.

I have pictures, but I forgot the camera today....will post them tomorrow.

Has any one seen plastic spacers inside the transom where the engine bolts go though. This is the first time I have ever removed an engine bolt and was a bit surprised to see them.
