Tashadaddy - link is bad..

gilligans - do some searches for transom in this forum only and start reading.

Then take a trip to the library and see if you can locate these books:

#1 - Runabout Renovation: How to Find and Fix Up an Old Fiberglass Speedboat by Jim Anderson
http://www.amazon.com/Runabout-Reno...0255336?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1176991542&sr=8-1

And you can probably find this one at the library:
The Fiberglass Boat Repair Manual by Allan H. Viatses
http://www.amazon.com/Fiberglass-Bo...0255336?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1176991609&sr=1-2

Book I got at the library and then bought a used copy on half.com for $3.00
Fiberglass Repair and Construction Handbook Author: Jack Wiley
http://product.half.ebay.com/_W0QQprZ4478978QQcpidZ1186450896

You can 'blog' your project for FREE at www.shareaproject.com and its also a great way to store pictures to link with forum posts.

Welcome, good luck. Lots of resources out there, so you'll be reading for a while.
