For those who are debating on whether to remove the deck or just cut the splashwell out for a transom replacement. Depending on the hull setup you can replace the transom without the extra work of taking the whole deck off. <br /><br />The process here was to remove the screws and glass only at the stern that held the deck on. I did this about 2' up. This let the deck flex out of the way to install new wood and do the glassing. <br />Glassing back in and making the cosemetics is easier and takes less skill than removing the deck. After doing the first one (this is the 2nd)I will never take a deck off again (done that too)unless it is mandatory for access. :D <br /><br />The pics aren't the best but they show the idea...<br /> http://www.momentoffame.com/snapshot.html?id=53857 <br /> http://www.momentoffame.com/snapshot.html?id=53856 <br /> http://www.momentoffame.com/snapshot.html?id=53855 <br /><br /> :confused: ***Anyone know why the pics didn't show?*** :confused:

Cool...What was the broom for? To spread the splashwell to better match up with the deck?

Bubbakat...thanks...did it need the .jpg extension added? For some reason the extension didn't come over this time but has before on other pics I've posted here.<br /><br />Jason,<br />The broom just happened to be in the well and wasn't supporting anything. That pic is before the well or rotten transom was removed. I put the floor in before cutting the splashwell out to make sure the hull didn't get distorted. I also left a lip of the old floor in to help keep it rigid. It made the new floor installation easier too. This is a user boat and not one for show. Now you can see how easy it was to access this particular hull with the deck on. Many of the late 50s and 60s were like this.<br /><br />Bill

Re: Pics of Splashwell Cut Out For Transom Replacement

Hey bill I would love to see those pics if you still have them :) I am about to cut out my splash well and I am unsure of the best way to do it, I can either cut from the back to the fromt of the well removing the hole thing however there is 3/4" ply glassed in along the flat part where I would like to cut so I wonder if it would weaken it too much. The other option I see is to just cut the iside of the well out I think if I can cut it on an angle the well will just sit rite back in to be reglassed?? I realy need to get some pics up :)
