Clean and dry or dark and mushy will tell all. you will get over the overwhelmed feeling soon. Tell my how I know 🤣. Im in year 4 of my resto and thought it would take a...

    Looking for advice here. Are the 3 layers good enough on the transom? I’m a bit nervous to move forward. Any help/guidance would be appreciated.

    1988 Bayliner Capri 1950 Resto Begins

    Welcome aboard! And it begins… once you get to the transom and stringers you’ll get an idea of how thick you’ll make it ( obviously you’ll need to be within spec as you mention). I used 2 layers of 3/4 plywood on mine. It will depend on the thickness of what cloth you’re gonna use. Read the...

    transom repair options

    Is that still wood at the very bottom? ( from post 34 top pic) You may need to chisel that out in order to get a solid sheet of plywood up against the entire transom. I used pink foam insulation to may my transom template once you get to that stage.

    transom repair options

    Scott is correct! You gotta get down through all the gel coat to get a good bond with the new stuff. It’s a long messy process but it must be done. Go at least 6 inches past where you think you’ll be laying new fiberglass. That way you’ll sure to leave yourself plenty of working area.

    Old Bayliners aren’t bad if you’re willing to put the effort in to fixing what needs fixing. Any pics of your core samples? You say they’re good. Where did you take samples from?

    Transom and floor replacement

    That doesn’t look like factory to me. That wood would have been glassed in. Bare wood is a no no. Maybe someone else here could confirm
