Here I am rying to give this whole rotten transom replacement a shot. I am new to any kind of boat repair or fiberglass work. But I have a few questions on how I should go about this replacement and what materials to use. I have been reading on what type of resin to use and have kind of decided on polyester as it seems the most economical. I am trying to stay on a budget as this boat was given to me and I wanna get on the water before summer is out! The old transom was approx 1 1/2" thick So i was thinking to pieces of 3/4" plywood. How should I bond these together and once bonded what should I use to bond them to the outer skin of the transom? once all that is in place what type of glass ahould i use for the skin on the back of the transom. and last but not least. When removing the top cap I screwed up and cut a six inch place on the outer skin of the transom... to my dismay ugh. What is the easiest way to fix that? I know thats a lot of questions in one post, but I thought I would give this a shot. Seems like there are a lot of knowledgeable people here that know a heck of a lot more about what they are doing than me haha... Thanks again! oh btw the boat is a 1979 15" bomber bass boat with a 115hp Johnson
