Hammer's transom Rebuild

Finished up all the glass work today on the V. Just need to sand and prime the inside. I think I migt have broken a transom record here.  ;D
I'll have teh cap on by next week, then the real artwork of glassing in the seams and hiding my cuts will begin. ;D

looks great but you need to run a layer of glass from inside the transom over the transom and down about 4 inches on the back of the boat so it seals the wood in water tight and for non flex strenght.

I was thinking the same thing, but I'm no glass man.
 
Thanks SKOOL, Wasnt sure how I was going to do that. Thought about running cloth over the splashwell and onto the outer skin.  ???

Just realized that I need to recut my stringer drains. :-[
 
Wondering if I should hold off on putting the cap on. Would love to stick a bracket on it. Easy access to bolt it on while the cap is off. :-/
 
Hammer if you stick a bracket on there you won't want to sell it!

Glass it up and send it down the road - then finish up your dive platform and go diving....don't foget the underwater pics 8)
 
Hammer looks great......When you get ready to put the cap back on, glass some small strips of ply to the underside of the deck in the boat so the cap and deck have support to rest on. keep up the good work.
 
No wonder your house was locked up tighter than a drum
on Saturday.

Where you home on Sunday?
I saw a cruiser sitting at Anglers fishing shop,
I was checking the progress on the new I.E.'s around 3:00PM.
 
Parissht, Nope, was gone Sat.SUn. and just home now. Got drenched at Hershey Park :'( But the kids still had fun. Glad to be home. ;D
