New Transom Layout SC 20

[alarie]

Here is a shot of the new 3/4" marine plywood floor for my 20. I have raised it up 2.25". The floor is glassed on both sides, vacuum bagged with epoxy and 1 layer of DB120 on each side. There are 5 stringers running across, made from 2 layers of plywood, 3" wide, with a 12oz uni glass layer top and bottom for stiffness.

This floor is stiff! Right now it is only touching on the very sides off of the old floor, and it only sags about 1/4" with my 200 lbs. in the middle!

I will post on how to bag a floor like this in 1 piece, in 1 opperation. It was a project, but the result is very nice.

Anyway, I am trying to come up with a simple and good looking layout for the transom area of my 20. This is one idea, with the face of the aft, center floor sloping downward to a 2" x 1/2" recessed well, draining through scuppers. I will probably pitch the floor towards the centerline as well.

Any thougts or comments? I was really close to cutting out everything from the back, but decided that this layout would be okay and much easier to do.

Also a pic of the side/tool room of our workshop. Not a lot of room, but it is inside for the weekend!

Thanks,
Peter
