    Transom Repair From Exterior

    Has anyone ever replaced a transom by cutting the exterior skin, rebuilding and reassembling? To me this just seems like a much easier process. The boat in question is a 21' Robalo CC, 1979 hull. It appears that someone cut the top off the transome and tried shoving plywood, un-glassed into...
