Default Re: all this work for a boat ride!

I got to do some work on the transom of my boat, over the last couple of days. Boy was it a lot of work.

I decided to attack it from the inside because I plan to redesign the layout of the engine-well a bit.

I was surprised of the condition the wood was in for a 34 year old boat. The wood were the engine mounts are was in ok condition, and probably could have lasted another 5y. On the sides were the throw hull fittings were was another story, complete mulch in thous locations. I guess its better to be proactive in this situation than wait until the transom failed.

On a positive note the stringers were dry when I had cut them back. Here are some pics

I also decided to take out the battery platforms on each side, the wood inside of there was rotten as well.

I am glad all of that part is finally over and done with, but I still have plenty grinding to do.
