Transom Complete!!

[rucaradio]

After 2 1/2 days, 3 1/2 gallons of resin, 10 yards of biax, and a few bad words my new un-rotten, fresh and clean transom is in!

I'll post some pics when I get a chance to take them (probably tomorrow), but I just wanted to extend a few kind words to all of you that have proved to be an invaluable resource. When I first got into this project (last October), I had my doubts... But with some research and some guidance from people on this forum I got it done!

Stringer rebuild is next. Then the deck. Then the motor gets dropped back in. Then...... the lake! Hopefully by July 4th.

Thanks again!

Once you move into the assembly stage it changes your whole outlook!

Re: Transom Complete!!

Bob you're absolutely correct. Now that I'm done taking things out, I can see the boat project in a whole new light.

The perspective has changed, this stuff isn't hard at all. We've just been taking our time and it's going smooth so far. Easy work really, just a lot of time committed.

Re: Transom Complete!!

I'll admit I needed to get this transom done.. Even though I spent the past 2 weeks grinding, I needed to get something "new" accomplished. There were a few times while test fitting the new transom I was about to give up. I think I uttered the phrase "just give me a @!$#@ chainsaw and I'll be done!". Looking at it now I'm glad I didn't!
