Have the new transom glued up in my garage right now. What should be the layout of the new floor? I didn't take any pictures and mine was mostly rotten.

Also is there a certain pattern I should use when putting the floor back down? The floor in this boat also crumbled when I took it out so I have no patterns to work off of. Planning on making a run to the plywood store next Friday. How should I calculate how much epoxy I would need to seal...

What thickness plywood should I use for the floor?

My old transom basically turned to dust when i tried to remove it. lol

Made a template today following what the boat works today guy does and the wood the previous owner gave me is way off. To small.. Will have to get new.

How close does the new transom need to be to the inside corners of the boat? As close as i can get it?

My local plywood store has this. Would that be the correct type of plywood?

First picture is just a picture from the side of the laminations.

Here's the wood I have.

These corners seem to be the worst of the rot. Any ideas on how I can avoid that in the future? Didn't seem like it was sealed good there before I took it apart.

I'll take a picture of it tomorrow. What's everyone's thoughts on synthetic boards?

Made some progress today. Hopefully have everything out tomorrow.

So the guy I bought this boat from gave me a piece of wood to use for a transom. Would you guys use it? Looks like marine plywood.

Got them off.

So my plan is to replace the transom remount the motors and then take the boat to a marina and see what it would cost to get the motors running / tuned up. That may change once I get find out what it will cost.
