I would seriously consider rethanking the job. If you are unfamiliar with how to remove the cap, you are in for the shock of your life. I will give you a starter for reference:

Have a shop large enough to hold all sections of boat
Derig the boat
Remove the motor
Remove the bump rail
Have chisel and hammer(To seperate top cap from transom)
Have large Vaccum(To remove the stringers)and any other wood
Since your this far go ahead and replace transom, again(Composite)
Have someone that knows how to lay glass(If you can't)

Last: The best of luck to you. I have done it and it is a major job...

MAKE SURE THE FLOORING GOES BACK IN AT THE SAME HEIGHT OR YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PUT THE CAP BACK ON THE BOAT...

Not to mention a complete set of tools like a sawzall, die grinders, cut off wheels, and pry bars. That doesn't include all the sockets, wrenches, and electrical connectors it is going to take.

Good luck!

Bassaholic, if you're long on time and short on $$$$$, go for it. I've done it twice. It's quite a bit of work, but you can do things more effectively than when it was built, if you do your homework. Your boat had wood stringers, floor and transom when it was built, and they will work fine again. If you are carefull to get everything sealed well, it will last for years. The last boat I redid is still going strong today-I redid it in 1995.

A couple of tips, besides the usual stuff like measure twice and cut once. Fiberglass resin will absorb water, which is bad, so it must be coated with something. Gelcoat is the logical answer. It doesn't have to be pretty, just complete. That is why you find gelcoat in every nook and cranny of a bassboat. Second, when you lay the glass over the new stringers, floor, transom, etc., use a hard roller to push the excess resin into little pools where you can remove it. This will reduce your resin to cloth ratio, which will make the end product much stronger. It is labor intensive, but the results will justify the effort. It is why boats like Bullet and Allison weigh so much less than other brands and yet they don't give up much strength. Champion used to do this, too. That is why their boats from the 80's were pretty light, and ran pretty fast, too.

Good luck with it.
