If you follow the instructions in my Link below your transom will be a "TANK" when it's installed.

Today I got the transom cut to shape. I am happy with how it looks. there is a slight gap on the sides that I want to fill with PB when I adhere it to boat. Here are some pics of how it came out.

It's looking great and coming along! You motivated me to pull my boat out of storage this afternoon.

Thanks guys! I am so happy to finally get a start on putting in new materials! Definitely beats grinding and now there feels like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. My next big task is to use the scribe and post method of tracing out new stringer templates. I will let everyone know how that comes along!

Good job on the transom!! Look forward to seeing the stringers being built.

I plan on getting back on the boat this morning when I get off work. I flew to California for my sisters graduation so I could not work on the boat for several days. Things are coming along though! Will update with pics when I get some real progress done.
