I was able to assess the transom yesterday and I think I can work with it. It isn't going to be a typical AS rebuild now. Instead it will have a slightly rounded transom (which might look good?) except for where the bracket mounts. Here is what I did to determine if I needed to cut the whole thing out.

I built a frame around the edge of the transom 1.5" away from the surface (well within the bulge height). I used this frame to scribe the curve that would compensate for the bulge.



Cut out that curve (made it smoother with a bent piece of strapping) and transferred it to 1/2 plywood.



The 1/2 would become a template for the cap.



I left it long because I didn't know how much height I would need in the cap to make it look correct. After bracing it in the center I was able to mark where it needed to be cut.









After deciding the best shape for the curve height I trimmed the excess off.





Remember, this is only a template, not the finished cap piece.





Today I hope to get the knees glassed in and move the bulkhead around for the bilge area. I don't think having a compound curve for the transom is going to be that bad looking. It definitely isn't going to be 100% original. I am just not willing to spend another $500 and two or three weeks fixing this when I think the final result won't be that noticeable. We will see what it looks like when the paint goes on.

BTW do you have snow in Montreal yet?

Pleaseeee don't mention snow  :puker:  :puker: . No white sh*t yet, still hoping will get an Indian summer

Hey, it's looking good, what did you do on the interior of the transom? Looks super flat now  :thumleft: and good idea about rounded transom

Marc,
Sorry about the S comment. I didn't do anything to the interior. It is very smooth, just with a bulge.  I think I will definitely need longer mounting bolts. I got the knees ready to glass but it is way too cold and rainy. I will try to get them in next w/e.

I am still alive just dealing with WINTER in the northeast. I resolved the issue with the transom bulge by creating a jig and using a skill saw to cut out the high points. I used a chisel too. Here is a brief synopsis.

 


And then I made a template to be fiberglassed.



It got too cold to work outside with fiberglass so I am in limbo until the spring. The template is just 1/2" CDX the actual will be made of 1/2" marine. Here is another view.




I decided that I wasn't willing to rip everything out and spend another $500 plus just to get the transom perfectly flat. There will be a slight curve to the transom.

This is the ground version
