if you mean they cut the glass from the out side never ever never do this unless it is a small bassboat or low freeboard runabout where there is no other choice. I have seen it done but it is only a technique for very specific circumstances. Sounds like the center board stringer is trashed anyway so it all needs to come out. Once ya get on a roll the bad wood and glass come out no prob.


Skinning the transom from the inside isnt to bad if done right. I will dig out some pics later to illustrate. I think i have some archived transom jobs somewhere

So do i remove the fiberglass from the inside on the face of the transom to get to the wood???... take a sawzall to it and cut the whole thing out?....Not sure what the proper directiong to go from here is? I read a couple oder threads and wasn't sure of the steps here...kinda seemed like everyone left the outside fiberglass intact....

From what I read, looks like the outer stays intact and we would work from the inside.

C Deezy excellent job and excellent post! a lot of great information there, is there any way you could give me a supply list and a layout of how you actually built the new transom? Definitely got the step by step layed out! Your boat cam out amazing!

heres a illustration i did recently for a book on the subject. This is a general layup. I will get more up in this thread particularly a materials punch list. On rough un even transoms sometimes i will replace the CSM with ATC's Corebond.
