Hey fellas been away from the forum for a while, The Ol Check is running well put up in the garage for winter time. I do have a question for you guys with more glassing experience than me:
I am replacing the transom on a 19' center console (arrow glass "coho") with a '91 125 Evinrude. I have removed the transom cap and removed old wood completely, leaving both the inner and outer skin intact. I was going to cut the inner skin off but the way the floor and cap are i'd have to cut up a TON of stuff to be able to remake the inner skin. I dont want to do seacast so I was wondering if it's possible to drop a new transom in from top retaining both the inner and outer skins? This one would have to be done in three pieces interlocking, but I'm more worried about getting the new wood to adhere to the old skins well enough to be "OK". I was thinking about using epoxy, brushing it on the skins for one coat, then putting some mat/cloth on each skin, then use some kind of filler/soaked-csm/??? jammed in between the new transom core and the fresh glass? I know thats from idea but this thing will never go faster than 40mph and it was free so if its undoable I'll keep the motor/trailer and wait for a deal on a new go-fast hull

and there is the check all put up for winter (cover is on now)
