Great news that the transom is solid. How about an update on your progress.

Take some pictures throughout the restoration and post em here, Keep us updated. Its technically off-topic for this forum but some of us are interested. Restoring boats and motors can be almost as much fun as fishing. Except when its 100 degrees in the shade, then it can get frustrating. Stick with it and good luck on your future crappie rig.

I didn't even think about it being 'off topic.' I mentioned in my 'introduction' post that I was looking for a boat, so I posted it here. I have a bunch of pictures, but still trying to figure out how to post them, easily. I am almost down to bare hull. I just have one stringer left to cut out. I have to cut one of, what I call the 'dog houses' out. The little black plastic boxes on the back corners. The foam in one of them is soaked.

Demo is done. I may have to grind down the channels where the stringers were a bit more. I left them in so I didn't have to try and figure out where to replace the stringers.

Thanks y'all!
I gotta stop the demo! I'm tired of finding more stuff to fix! If I'm able, I hope to pick up my plywood tomorrow or Friday. Work on fit over the weekend, and start glassing next week.

I wondered what that was, couldn't really tell cause it's in a shadow. It's a little portable a/c isn't it?

No, just a squirrel fan. But I do have a window unit I could throw up there!

I pulled the livewell inlet covers, and the wood is wet. So, I cut an inspection panel, and the wood is still wet. I may use Willie's Sea Cast suggestion, or just cut new plywood.

Took the day off yesterday to enjoy my birthday with my family.
Got the transom cut off this morning, pretty wet. Glad I decided to replace it.
