Re: inboard to outboard conversion
you'll need to cut the old trnsom wood back from the hole a bit into a shape thats easily duplicated being carefull not to get into the outside skin of the hull,then taper the edge of the hull where the opening is so you can get a bond to it with the new glass , the make a patch to fit your recess inside and glue it in, then lay up your glass from the outside.<br /><br />the inside is where you'll need to beef it up, try and layup the patch the same as the inside of the rest of transom is, then comes the beef..<br /><br />I would prolly lay some carbon cloth acrross the back where the bolts go through and then maybe a layer of matt and screw another 1/2" of plywood on, then glass the whole thing over like the inside of a normal outboard transom.<br /><br />a little overkill wont hurt...
