Transom: The Transom of this boat is original, while I get the sense that she was taken care for most of her life. In her more recent past she has been neglected, at least in how she was stored. Her transom is questionable, since her floor is bad I am going to assume so is the Transom, Thus starts the repair.

At this time My plan is to use Seacast to pour my transom without completely cutting the rear of my boat into peices that ill have to patch back together.

"The Seacast System is a pourable transom core replacement consisting of a filler and casting compound. Combining a mixture of reinforcements and additives in a polyester matrix, the Seacast replaces rotted transom plywood. The resulting Seacast transom is a laminate comprised of the inner and outer hull skins and the Seacast core. It is highly impact resistant, and has three times the strength of marine plywood. It will not absorb water or rot. It remains resilient at 0° F, and does not "creep," even at temperatures up to 212° F. Seacast is sold in 1, 2, and 5 gallon kits (kits include the liquid casting compound and the ground fiberglass reinforced plastic), and is used with a catalyst to initiate the reaction. "

The other option is to do a standard marine plywood repair, but with that it seems to be about the same amount of work a little cheeper, but likely to end up rotting again years later.

Regurdless this part of the repair is being held till fall
