Yeah, I did a lot of research on here before I cut into it and saw that a few guys used chainsaws. I may go that route in a few areas that aren't as wet. The real wet stuff comes out pretty easy for the most part. Gotta have patience is all.
Im still trying to decide if I should cut the top,so i can slide one big piece in or what the best way to go about it is when it comes time. Ill also reinfoforce the inner skin with more glass.

I cut the cap on my replacement and thought that was an easier job then digging out! Now if your boat is not being rehabbed, and the transom not repainted, then digging is the better way.

Well, I got my template cut for the transom today and also put the first coat of primer on the console.
  I decided to just go with paint for the console vice gel coat, only because I have more experience with paint than gel coat.

It's weird, sometimes frozen water falls from the sky up north here. It's a wicked P.I.T.A.

I finished the console and decided to put a few Christmas presents on it. Came out alight I think. Not perfect by any means but definitely fishable.

Alright guys...how much paper thin dry old transom is allowable before starting the new transom??? I have been hand sanding the lip I have on the transom for two nights now. I am trying to get some tool that will work for this but everyday I can't find one means more hand sanding. I know what kind of tool I need but can't find any one at work who has something close. I don't want to buy a new tool if what I have done to date will suffice. Again I have paper thin wood in spots, others are down to bare glass. What wood is left is dry and very minimal. Please tell me I can stop sanding and start building.
