Yes i agree to the inside being the best method.. That is if the outwr skin is truly sound.. I found out my 20 was not the case. It had a bulge in it after the fact. I used a poured transom and now have removed the outerskin of the 20 and now have to fair it out..the transom of the 20 is definately not going anywhere..

.. Thanks for all the advice
I will keep you posted

That outer skin looks beefy. How thick is it?

Has anyone installed a reverse chin. so that to knock the spray down.. I like the look of spary rails. but dont want to install them.. I was thinking of putting a1/4 reverse chine on the chine startin at the bow and flaring it down about3/4 of the leghth of the hull. I know what you guys are probably thinking. But I heard these are wet boats... I have never ridden in a 23 But my buddies 24century has a reverse chine and it does not matter what angle or how hard it blows you don't get wet... So what is your thoughts and how does yours ride .in rough weather..

Well I decided to scrap the skin idea. Reason being is that I did not realize that the outer two skins i put on the boat were already at the stern. Meaning flush with stern. So I decided to just start wrapping the glass around the stern quarters.. I did a 1808 o-90 came out just under the hull gellcoat.i wrapped up about3 -4 inches... I finished this one Thurs day night. just to find Friday that my heat lamp got a little to close.. So now I had to repair the core cell. Friday night. I just ground down the corcell until i got to clean material. then i added 4 pieces of glass or until it was just over .. I wrapped up it with a piece of visquen to keep the material in place. My epoxy as it gets hot it gets more liquid or viscus.. O i had to place a piece of visquene on it to keep the glue and glass in place. Sat i ground the glass flat and this time ground the stern quarters farther down the hull side about10 inches and tapering up at a 45 degree angle. so that there is more there to keep the transom from ripping off.. I glued a 17-08 0-45 piece of glass to the transom ... once that started to get really tacky. I wet out a piece of 2oz mat. i mean really wet out...WHAT a PAIN IN the ARSE ..after the mat I mixed up some cabosil and resin and smeared on to my backer board and onto the mat...I had the bright idea to build a flat very flat panel so that i can mash it up against the wet glass and get a smooth and flat surface to fare to... I will let you know what it looks like... I may have just created a really big Mess..
