Hi,
I am seeking advice to replace a transom on my 14 foot fiberglass boat, it has a soft spot on one side and i don't know how to go about it.
I can either cut from behind and replace it, but the inside fiberglass is very thin and damaged.
Other option is to cut out the rear deck to lift it and remove the transom from the inside ( and save the paint).
Or, i distribute the thrust with an aluminium sheet on each side since the only soft spot is on the far right side and i go easy on the boat for the little time i'm going to use it.
What would you do?
