Keep up the work. Know all about the stringers not draing well.

Looks great man. Bet you gotta be excited to start bolting it back together. :D

Looks great! I don't miss the winter I cpmpletely redid my Baja....

Ryan the boat looks great with new blue stripes

Thanks Chris. Bet you are ready to run that cig you picked up. Going to start putting it back together next weekend. At least the parts will be clean going back in.

So , with all the new stuff I'm sure it will be in Key West in November. Nice work.

Quick question....

Everything I have read about transom replacements has said never remove the outer glass/gel without the wood inside as you lose the structural position and stability of the sidewalls and hull. Did your glass guy do anything to brace everything so it stays in position? As I embark on a transom replacement I am always thinking of how much easier this replacement would be if done from the outside. I am willing to take a few extra steps to brace the inside if that would make it possible Just wondering if your glass guy had any insight?

Thanks
Jim

I am it is at (Jim Watson) Ozark speed and marine down in the Ozarks in his shop. I cant wait to see yours in the water with the new paint. I aways like the colors of your's and mark's boats.

I'll be in Key West, the boat will be put away. Much better for me to be down there with no responsibilities. Thats awesome Jim is a good guy. Can't wait to see yours as well.

Jim. I am not even close to a glass guy. What happened was I removed the inside glass and the rotted wood. Then it was taken to the glass shop, That's when it was decided to cut the transom out due to the amount of repairs that had to be done to the outside. When the back was cut out they left about an 1-1/2 all the way around. That's what kept the sides, top, and bottom true. Then the boat and the transom were ground to a 45. After that the inside has multiple layers of glass as well as a couple on the outside. Hope this helps. I can get more specific info if need be.
