Hi,
In the middle of replacing the transom on my aquasport and looking for some guidance.
I have just finished getting rid of the old rotten wood which was 100% wet all the way through. I plan on roughing up the bare glass with 40 grit prior to adding the new core & glass.
Im planning on using 2 sheets of 3/4 marine ply with a mix of csm, 1708 and either poly or vinylester resin/ putty to put it all together.
I would like to raise the height of transom on the sides as the original cut sat pretty close to the water line, especially with the 4 stroke I have for it.
I am trying to price out & plan the build so by the time the weather is consistent 60s/70s i can get it done over the course of a few days.
Any general advice or idea as to how much material I should plan to buy (gallons of resin/ yardage of glass)?
thank you
