Hello ok I bought a 1959 Bell boy that needs a total restoration including the transom. I have lots of questions but will start out with just a few. So far I have removed the rub rail wood all rotted with rubber on outside noticed there's nuts and bolts about every 5" this is holding the top of the boat on I think. I took the transom out rotted wood and started cutting stringers out. This is a closed bow 16' ok so I left the fiberglass in tac its only about 1/4 and noticed its separated in one place about five inches on the top of the transom and has a little bow were the motor was on I'm thinking I can put some new plywood and clamp the 1/4 " fiberglass to the new transom then run new stringers to the new transom. Anyway any advise will help as I've never done this before. Not sure how to replace the rub rail
I'm thinking I will have to take the whole boat apart to paint. So many questions. Thanks so much!!
Not sure how to add pics as this is my first post.
