I am enclosing the transom and capping it. I think you didn't enclose yours if I'm not mistaken. I will be using wood and putting a slight crown in the transom cap. So do I attach the cap to the transom or vice vs.
You're correct in I didn't close in my transom on the 170.
Spend some time in the 222 and 222FB forums and I think you'll get a lot of your answers.

You can see how I did mine here.    I like to leave extra material on things so the transom core was higher than the original gunnel cap on the outside.   

 

Then I measured my crown and put the knees in to that height.   (After I cut the bevel and crown off of the transom core. Got to be beveled flat to make up for transom angle) I just butted the new cap flush with the top of the core, didn't put it on top.



All tied in on this page...

Nice dirt thats what I was after. did you screw in or just tab. How hard was that 3/4 inch to bend. Think I'm going to use 1/2 for the cap and maybe 1/4 for the cabinet

I used temporary cleats on the inside of the knees to hold it down while I tabbed on the outside of the knees. Then took those out and tabbed the rest of it.    You can see how I did the outside connection, temporarily screwed til the epoxy cured, taken out, filled and tabbed.

I let that cap piece sit in the shop for awhile with some weight in the middle and it pretty much locked the curve in it...

Got into the grind today, most of the transom removed and it was soaked. Also got into the stringers and the foam is wet at the back, amazing how much the stuff weighs when its wet. Gonna cut up a little further and check it hope it's dry.

Has anyone done a rebuild and not re-foamed the stringers?

The best way I found to do the transom cap is making a mold takes a little time but you save a lot of time in fairing. I molds for a lot of the things I did just so I didn't have to fair fiberglass. Sounds like it would cost more and take more time but at the end of the day you wont need so much fairing compound or all the time that goes into fairing. Here are some pictures of how I did mine.

That's sweet J, I can get the melmaline but where did you get the cap piece. Do you still have the mold?

So I did some damage, got the wood out and began some rough grinding. Jeeze lots of bondo used on this boat. Bondo dust sux! even through the respirator.



Took a good chunk out of it but still have a little more grinding to go.

No I don't still have the mold. Waxed over the transom of a 19.6 gelled it and glasses it I used that for my mold but sold it didn't have a use for it and made more money then I had in it haha
The bondo stuff is most likely bonding puddy that they used to get the old transom core to stick to the hull. Sands easy but throws dust every!!
