Anyone ever have any experience with rebuilding the Transom of a 1977 16ft Bayliner Cascade with a Volvo Penta 270 outdrive and 130 engine. I have removed the floor and stringers as well as the water logged foam and discovered that the bottom 4 inches of my transom are now what looks like mulch. I am in the process of pulling the engine and will hopefully have it out by the weekend. Since the top 3/4 portion of the transom is good do I need to replace the entire wood portion o fthe transom. This is the first boat project I have embarked upon. The floor and stringers would be easy enough but a transom is a whole new ball game for me. Any questions and tips would be much appreciated. I have read several of the post and topics about rebuilding and learned much so far. Another subject of my attention is the foam. I have 2 cases of injectable foam left over from another project, will this be sufficient for the foam replacement. Also, has anyone had any experience with Seacast pourable transom rebuilding. http://www.transomrepair.com/ this stuff looks pretty darn neat and easy enough to work with, just curious? By the way this is my first post and Im very happy to be a new member of your forum, I hope to contribute something positive.
