Tsunami surgery begins

[1bayouboy]

I was very lucky with that livewell....it had a lot of cabosil adhesive on it, but the paint pulled off the transom along with it....



I finished cutting the corners and rear stringer areas out of the transom....



The corners were interesting....having to dig out the foam to get to the bottom edge of the transom....and also dealing with the block of wood that extends to the through floor scuppers. Starboard and port corner shots....






If you look close you can see where I was able to slice through the fiberglass skin and peal it off the wood blocks in the corners. I was also able to slice through the fiberglass right along the botton and outer edge of the transom and just peel the glass off. The fein tool was very precise to do it with....and it didn't throw a cloud of glass dust like the skill saw or grinder.



I guess now it's an air chisel with a sharp blade and the grinder.....and slow progress with work interferring with the fun again...
