I have my boat ready to start putting things back together. From what I have read in the archives, is that most people use there motor bolts to suck the new transom up agianst the skin on the hull. However my transom has no such holes, my motor just clamps onto the transom, and my transom skin has developed its own shape( not flat, kinda wavy). I was thinking about laying a coupling sheets of saturated mat on first then soaking the new transom with thinned resin, then applying a thick resin and milled fiberglass mix to the new transom to help fill any voids that might be hidden since I have no real good way of sucking the wood up against the outer skin. Or should I drill some holes in the hull and use bolts, which I would rather not do unless I have to. And I'm using poly resin, not epoxy. If anyone has a better solution to this I would gladly accept your help.<br /><br />Thanks
