    Port side stringer not so bad but did feel wet… starboard side was toast . I didn’t want to cut too far back. If needed can I decapitate the the top of stringer leaving the outer fiberglass skin? And replace the rotted wood inside? seems like there’s thick layer of glass already there. Saw a...

    Is there more wood

    Replacing transom on my 1990 2651 Bayliner. My restoration is in another post. Managed to rip out down to the outer layer. Question is…..there seems to be no more wood on either side of the center transom. Just fiberglass. Pics below . I’m pointing to the area in question. Can someone confirm...

    Another question…. the outer fiberglass wrapped in to the inner transom wood. Im thinking that this should be cut flush. I intend to resin the new transom keyhole … seems difficult to try and fit the new transom with this in the way. Am I on he right track here?

    In addition the key hole has fiberglass/ gelcoat wrapped into it. I’ve never seen this on any rebuilds of original Bayliners. Has anyone come across this? i assume it should be cut away when removing the transom wood.

    Ted, correct the structure portion is up next. once engine was removed it was time to tear into the transom. Found some interesting things. Yes rot was there and it looks like there was no tabbing of the actual back transom plate. see lower left and lower right of transom. there’s a gap!
