Yet Another Transom Job in the Works - ?ions

[Scott]

Scott - believe it or not it was a **tch getting the glass off the original wood - had to drive a long chisel into it between the glass and old core. It actually ripped off some of the old core still attached to the outer skin. It is going to be tough removing all that original core.

That plywood looks smooth as glass !! Thats why I asked

Is there any reason to go further to the sides with my cuts? I am trying to avoid replacing the drains in the rear port and starbord storage boxes (ice boxes)??

I think some that have done this in the past may have have had wet or even rotted wood around those drains. I would just make sure its in good shape before you go to all that work.

And you are correct ... a bunch of stuff was lost last night ... including I think a new member or two
