Hey guys,
I am sure this question has been answered a thousand times but I can?t find a post that explains it in its entirety. I have some experience with fiberglass repair on cars but not on boats. I have a late 1970?s early 1980?s Gamefisher 14 foot tri-hull that I would like to replace the transom in. The wood was rotted out but the skin on the back of the boat was in pretty good shape. As you can see by the pictures I have removed the wood and am getting it ready to start the repair. My question is what method of repair and what kind of ?system? should I use. It seems like most of the posts are about repairing the transoms in the larger boats. I am not real worried about cost, I just want to do it right and I only want to do it once. I would then like to paint the entire boat so I would also like some advice on that too. Keep in mind that I am a novice so when you start talking about products to use, please tell me the brand names so I can look them up.
Thanks
