letterrip, Curious as to how you filled in the bigger TRS cutout to accept the smaller Bravo. I was told it was easier to replace the whole transom than to patch in both the TRS & tiller arm cutouts. The reason being is, not much area is left in the patch after the bravo is cutout.

Hi, We went solid & feathered it all out further past, to ensure that it would bridge the area and then some.
I personally would never even think of doing the Whole transom on this boat,... anyway !
it was sooo solid to begin with & garage kept all its life.
In my thoughts , that would make me uncomfortable.
on my boat at least , every boat may be different , either the Transom or owners outlook.
I will post some Pix..
If its done right in theory It will actually be stronger.
kudos to this thread... Nice to see people doing some cool projects still!
