Heavy motor hanging on rotten transom = bowed transom
Bet there are spider cracks in the gel in the splash well too

Near Lakewood, 91 fwy and 605 fwy.
If you do it from the outside and you leave a 4" border, that is not a full transom replacement. The transom and stringers are the spine and skeleton of the boat. Not doing it correctly will lead to a catastrophic failure.
Most facetubers do things wrong
Many many many hours of grinding down to good glass with 24 or 36 grit. Don't forget the full face respirator, tyvek suits, gloves, etcgot a good chunk of the old wood off.
question, to reinforce the inner corner between the new transom and the side of the hull, how should I prep the existing fiberglass of the side? just clean it with acetone?
