Thanks. My keel stringer is wood i removed a square from the top of it about 4' forward of the transom. Its wet stabbing a chisel into it you can see the moisture. Would you recommend the pvc keel stringer mod i have read about to replace this? I assume i need to beef up the layup on the keel when i am down in there.

The vents will be in the way of the new transom 3" thick is what i am aiming for. Any ideas on new ventilation places? I personally like the no vent look

Just wonder why you need that much thickness if your staying with the I/O ? I converted my 23cc I/O to a bracket and especially with the full bracket found absolutely no need for anything more then the 2” thickness . If you stay with the I/O I would think the vents would be a real advantage in keeping the complete hull ventilated as at rest there is a low section between the CC and the bow that holds water and I would assume fumes as well.

Wattaway, the boat will have a single 300 and a stoner bracket on it, the I/O is long gone.I am going to aim for 2 1/4" inches by laminating x3 3/4" sheets + glass.

Slow going been cold in the garage up here in RI. I managed to get the transom all sanded down with flap disks, finding some delamination in a few layers of the transom glass which came from the I/O opening that was cracked. More clean up to do, then time to gather materials for the transom.

More grinding today. The transom is cleaned up most of the keel stringer tabbing is gone- just need to grind the fillet flush. Pictures of the I/B cracking i have to grind back. More grinding to come
