246/250ccp closed transom
« on: December 23, 2020, 07:07:18 AM »
I bought this 79 246ccp.  It needs floors and transom redone.  Is there any really good write ups on here for re doing the floors? also can anyone that has done a closed transom give me some info such as cost and time it took to do it. Is it worth it to do?  still trying to decide ifbi should stay open or add a bracket.  I use the boat for offshore fishing in the gulf of fl mainly

mshugg just finished his CCP rebuild and closed in his transom, among other great mods. Look in the CCP rebuilds forum.

As mentioned above, I rebuilt my 200 CCP, enclosed the transom and added an Armstrong bracket.  It worked out great.  The full transom gives a great sense of security offshore, and I gained a ton of fishing room.  I relocated my bait well to the leaning post,  it on a 246 you’d have the option of building it into the transom cap.  It’s great to be able to brace thighs against the transom while putting out baits or fighting fish.  The cost for the  full transom won’t be much more than rebuilding a cut out.  New, a bracket will add 3-4K.

Be sure to post pictures. I look forward to following your rebuild.

My question right now is, am I going to have to cut the entire back of the boat out to enclose the transom?  I could see how I would do it if my transom were flat but it has a curve to it and the sides bend outward as well.
