76 22-2 Transom pour

[clerkick]

Hi all long time lurker, first time cutting into my oldest girl. Transom had the cap separating for years but I kept her sealed up with 4200 every year, now needing a new motor I might as well do the transom. Already own a 25" replacement Merc but don't really want to do the closed in porta bracket thing. Has anyone just made a taller version of the factory transom? What was the layup? Kind of stuck on going with nida pour as my floor has been redone already and I dug most of the wood out of the core last weekend.
Here she is 3 or so years ago, all I've changed is putting the original seat back in.

Been awhile but back at it. Have all the wood mostly out. Used my chainsaw, which as a former sawyer was actually kind of fun. Now slogging away with the drill. One question I have is what to do about the bilge drain. How do you guys seal this area for the pour. My only access to the interior side is through a pie plate in the deck.

I put a temporary patch of fiberglass on the bilge drain, before I poured seacast in my transom.

I wish I could find a 22-2 or a 19-6 in Sweden. I might have the only Aquasport here for what I know.

Good luck with your pour.

Any pics of the pour? I'm hoping to do the same but interested how to deal with the scupper holes and bilge drain

This guy has a bunch of vids on the procedure. This one is the actual pour but he has prep ones too.
