Well I finally started my rebuild project. I bought a 1988 Bayliner Capri 2150 with a 3.0L. A little under powered I know, but replaced that with a 4.3L. Back to the rebuild, when I pulled the outdrive off I noticed the Transom had some rot. So I watched alot of you tube and read alot on iboats. So I dug right in. I cut the seat boxes out and pulled up the floor in the rear where the batteries went. I then cut out the fiberglass to expose the rotten plywood. There I found all the rot. So I got a breaker bar a cisal and a hammer, and started removing all the plywood. Then I sanded it all smooth. thought everything was going great. Untill I got out of the boat and looked at the back of the boat and there I saw 2 small cracks where the teeth from the breaker bar had cracked the hull behind the transom on the outside. Is . there an easy way to fix this. I will post picks tomorrow have to work tonight 3rd shift it sucks. thanks for the advice in advance Randy

Dont worry. Anything is fixable with fiberglass. I am not really sure on what needs to be done without seeing pictures, so I will wait for that.

Sorry for the delay in sending the pics. With all the rain and having to work overtime it's hard to get any work done. so here it goes...
