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.
. Your boat is really starting to look good, can't wait to see it done!Thanks
Jim

Thanks Jim. If you do not touch the inside fiberglass that will also hold everything together. I would ask someone with more knowledge on how to tie it back in if you are going to go that route. Definitely easier standing.

What did you do about the HIN#, did you cut around it or remove it. I only ask because I recently went to look at a boat that didn't have a HIN # on the transom. Thanks
