Progress report! Basically took the week end off, but got busy this week. Had to get materials and supplies lined up and then had to engineer the new transom.

I sure hope he'll fish with me. Anything to get him out from in front of the computer and video games!

I rebuilt the wood transom of my boat last December and I would like to give a little advise. If you would like to never have to worry about water getting into that wood ever again, please go here The Rot Doctor and read about CPES. Use it before you glass in that wood and never worry about that pinhole in the glass you might have overlooked because it will never be able to rot your replacement wood no matter how much water comes in it.

BTW that boy is wearing the right T-Shirt!!!

I looked at that stuff when I was agonizing about what options I had for my wet transom. I decided to pull the transom and redo it. Even though this is my first transom redo, I feel confident that this glass work will outlast the rest of the boat. Or, it may be a new brush pile on GV!
Speaking of transoms, got home from work today and took all my clamps off, and that transom is solid! There are a couple of spots that will need some fixn' attention, but nothing major.
I'm trying to get motivated to cut some stringers, but I neglected to note a major measurement. So, I'm trying to figure out where to measure from to get a good deck hight.

2 pieces of 23/32 A/C laminated together. So about 1.5". It'll be a little thicker when I get done building up the fiberglass.

I think you my not understand what CPES is and does. Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealant is the thickness of diesel fuel and it is painted on to new wood. It penetrates the wood and fills the pores in the wood then hardens into epoxy plastic. This keeps any water from entering the wood in the future and thus preserves the wood. I did this to the new wood that I installed in my transom last December. I now have no worries about what will happen if any water gets to that wood because it cannot get into the wood no matter how long it remains in contact with the wood.
This is not the same as the procedure that I think you were refering to which is a way of repairing a rotten transom wood without replacing it. I opted out on that myself as well.
Keep up the good work!
