I did wood, my fiberglass guy said don`t do Boosa. He does 10 transoms a year so I took his advice.

it was. There were a few questionable spots but I wasn’t overly concerned knowing what I know now. I knew I’d need to atleast fill the holes to swap drives and gimbals that I want to do anyways.

Man if you are doing the transom just set it up for #6s.

Going to be sweet when she's all restored, upgraded, and customized!

I know I really am leaning towards doing that. Even if I don’t have my hands on the drives right away. It can give me some time to sell the SSM stuff. I think putting sixes on it will just be the better choice in the long run for maintenance and re sale. Not that I’m looking to sell it anytime soon.

The more rot!
the easier it is !!

You didn't waste any time ! Dove right in....love it.

why are you sanding down that much the outside transom?

That’s the truth! Some spots were worse than others.

he’s getting all the highs/lows out of it. It’s going to get painted regardless and honestly the way these guys are working im not asking any questions.. they had the transom cut fit and glued in a day and a half..

Looks like we’re gonna replace the center stringer as well it was questionable and at this point why take any short cuts.
