Seafari transom outboard rebuild

[Bushwacker]

Hey bushwacker, in one of the pics it looks like the engine well is still in place then in another it looks like they glassed the entire inside of the transom. Which did they do?

Don filled in the cutout first and then cut out the splashwell and ground the aft edge flush with the transom before he gelcoated everything. He used a batten across the top of the existing transom to get a nice smooth arc in the filler section, so it blends in well and looks like it was originally built that way.
