I think they did a good job, looks all fine to me but what the hell do I know about fiberglass, the holes aren`t sealed with silicone or 4200 or whatever was in there that failed and allowed water in.
I had the inside done in black, tired if trying to clean the white .
The trailers weld came out fine .

When my guy did the Donzi, he drilled larger holes than needed, filled them completely in with some epoxy resin, then drilled the size needed. That way even if it did leak, nothing was getting to the wood. Just a thought.

The last transom i sealed i used the West System 105 with a 209 extra slow hardener....gives you like 45min of pot life and it takes like 24hrs to fully cure at room temps so its gives it more time to soak in. It helps to heat the area before applying the epoxy as well. I used some heat lamps near the surface to get the area a good 25-30 deg hotter then ambient temps.....if you heat the temps up to 95*F then the stuff cures in like 6-8hrs....higher and quicker it cures....you can thin it out up to 50% with acetone as well to help it soak in too..
