I am going to start a thread to introduce myself here sometime tonight. I will be uploading pictures of my restoration to everyone. I work as a marine technician professionally but this is my first go at restoring a boat. I am doing it to mainly learn and because I think it is a lot of fun. The rest I will save for my intro thread.....
My question is, my transom has a pretty decent curve, I didn't realize how much it was curved until I through my cut piece of plywood in there for the transom. What is the proper way to fix this transom? I prefer not to use balsa, and for the record, the original transom was only 1/4" thick (being an inboard ski boat). The only thing going on the transom is a swim deck that I am going to make. Would it be possible to replace the entire transom with just fiberglass? I have a roll of CSM and a roll of 1708 biaxial.
Pictures will come later if needed. Must go to work now
Cya guys!
Boat is a 1987 BAJA (YEAH BAJA) inboard ski boat. Good luck finding any pictures of them on google. If you know anything else about this rare find let me know.
