hey guys 1981 Glassmaster 18' runabout '76 115 tower of power
While I was inspected trim cylinders after the lake yesterday, I noticed there was a slightly large problem with the lower starboard motor bracket, which seemed to have made its way into the transom. Obviously, the wood is rotted, however to what degree I'm not sure. The sealant was pullled away by me after I noticed the damage.
I am fairly sure that the floor and stringers aren't rotted, but I will double check. I read on another post about using seacast or something like that to strengthen the transom. I would like to get the boat usable again, but don't want to bandaid a bigger problem.
After three perfectly successful outings in a row, I knew there had to be something wrong with the boat!
