    Transom Repair

    I’m gunna disagree with Scott. You can make a two piece transom but the joints must me staggered. A 18” cut on opposite ends Will do the trick. Use plenty of Titebond III and plenty of transom clamps. She’ll be as strong as a 1 piece.

    Small Hole Repair - Good Idea or Bad Idea?

    If you want to make sure the repair doesn’t pop out. Use a countersunk on the front side and don’t tape the back site. Use thickened resin no fibers. Small bit of patch material pushed in hole and let it mushroom on back side. When dry this forms a rivet that won’t pop out

    Transom Glassing Opinions??

    Good call Sam! I’d be more comfortable if you applied 1 layer of 1708 and extend 6” over what’s there
