Allright that's enough eye splitting for now. Below the rubrail has never been painted or repaired. The top was repainted. Ya'll see what I've got to work with isn't too terrible.

Some clean-up and TLC and you'll have a good one...I think your previous owner was related to my previous owner...mine's got exactly the SAME TWO THRU-HULL FITTIN'S as yours in the SAME TWO PLACES!!...SWEAR ;) ...
 
Priceless is the smile of a grandchild and your father complaning about your boat that he once owned. Work continues.
 
Thats what I have in mine, yes from the toilet!! But your look plastic?? I would change that!!

Rell is right a bit of elbow grease and you be good to go! ;)
 
Amongst doing other things to da boat and having to putoff pouring glass this weekend, I decided to stick tires on the trailer instead. Being nosey I couldn't help looking at the bearings and greasing them. Of all things this axle is 2" square stock, milled at the spindles and step tapered from 1 1/4 to 3/4 for the bearings. Not to mention the dust cap is a small size about 1 25/32. Should of took pictures if this was unusual. Sorry, plenty of time to do later when I reposition the axle. :-/
 
Oh, Jesus fricken Christ. If I were a cat I'd already be dead. Again got nosey and pulled the motor off to remove the aluminum transom cap, figured I could reseal it. More plundering I ended up removing the wood in the transom, the center was fine but the sides were nonexistant. Like daddy said you've gone this far can't stop now.
 
Tsubaki...I sure hope ya keep postin' pix of this project...I'm thinkin' about this w/mone one day ;) :D ...


How do you work the spacer blocks after the pour?...
 
Intending on glassing the hole this weekend. There are some things to be aware of if intending to do this and we're working the problems out as we go. Daddy has done this three times on other boats and we'll see if this is the best yet. My wifes 16'' Remington electric chain saw was instrimental in preforming the task.
 
The spacer blocks were just an initial hold for the 5200 to the inside walls to the transom which will be removed when the "pour" will be done. There are a lot of other concerns as we go. As to not fill the assend full of resin but get a good balance between glass and cloth. Again this might be trial and error. The most important thing probably will be to maintain 2-2 1/8'' on the transom.
 
You know the defination of insanity is preforming the same task over and over but yet expecting different results. If the wood rotted, why are you replacing with wood???
 
Reel this is what we did sofar, please let me know if it don’t make sense. First we cut the cap off with a small cutoff wheel. It seemed to kick up less dust and got in the corners.
