I am about to start a transom replacement on an 86' Wellcraft Scarab Panther; any special circumstances or issues I need to be aware of before I start?

I took a circular saw , set the depth to maybe 1 or 1.25,,cut a cross hatch pattern in transom. made it easier for removing rotted wood.

Remember this restoration process if you plan to keep your Scarab for another 10+ years. Why?......because you will likely get opportunity to redo the transom and stringers again.

someone mention you lowered the floor in yours, did you have to remake the gas tank to lower the floor? I have cut my cockpit out of mine and stringers and contemplating lowering the floor.

My floor is lowered on the Port and Stb side and it is slightly lower in the middle over the gas tank. It is a 1 pc unit that is trimmed in SS. Let looks pretty good and really helps you hunker down when running hard.
