1977 Thundercraft Resto - Need Some Help

[Tadd352]

Thanks guys.. I'm going to go with seacast but I will need to make a new piece to replace the inside shell I cut out getting to the transom.. could i just make up a fiberglass panel and bend it 1.5" of the outer hull shell of the transom to get the gap for the pour? Also will the fiberglass be able to tie into the rest of the boat if I use poly on the transom

Hopefully you have read the "How to's and other information" sticky at the top. Lots of good information to get you started.

Yes , you will layup a couple layers of 1708 biaxle .. Make it a little larger than the size of the transom .. Make your template with cardboard or whatever .. It will flex just fine to make the curve .. You can buy the pre made spacers seacast sells or just make your own out of some poly pb ... gunna need a flat surface big enough to make the skin .. A piece of old laminate or plastic will keep the resin from sticking . I used an old laminate door set on saw horses ...
