Here is boat with the transom cleaned out. Anyone who has decided to tear out there own transom will understand the labor involved. Especially a Pantera. Mine was rotted good in some spots, but still solid in some. Makes me appreciate the Pantera more. This boat is 30 years old. Got a little deep with the circular saw...I thank Pepe for the thick gel to hide my mistakes.

Also in previous pic I cut part of stringers out due to minor rot. Could have cut less, but wanted to make sure I had clean wood. Also notched to make kind of a key for new stringer pieces to scab in place.

Skipping a few steps on building tansom, but this is transom in place. 2 layers of 3/4 marine plywood, 1 layer of 1.5 oz mat in between the 2 layers of plywood.

My dad cleaning up some excess resin as we sucked the transom up with screws. This whole project couldn't be done w/o him...the guy can do anything.
