I was able to pull the motor on the boat yesterday and the transom is rotted as well but I expected that as well. I am thinking about pouring a sea cast transom. I have been reading about it and dollar for dollar I think it is worth it. Plus it will out live me in the boat. I will get some updated picks. So it's almost time to start sanding the glass. I have also decided to layer the bottom of the inner hull with a layer of 1708. I am two holes to fix because the prior owner ran two screws throught the hull trying put a sub floor in the boat.
