Finally completed major grinding of stringers.....now time for Major clean up and glassing. Like Ricks idea of glassing sides of Hull.

Now is the time to consider replacing the fuel and vent lines.  If you don't know their history replace them.  Put in a set of ethanol resistant hoses.  I think I paid $7.50 a foot for both.

Thanks Rick, The tank is ordered already from Alloy......Great price, will replace fuel lines also. This boat will never see ethanol as long as I own it.

I still have some questions on the "filler" that you want to put in to fill in the top of the transom.
Will it be removable? Are you going to grind and glass it in to make it look like the whole thing is one piece?  If it's the latter I am not sure that is wise because the next owner might think it is a solid transom and assume strength that it doesn't have.
If it is the former, it is a good idea to keep water out of your boat.

Not sure yet. The low transom scares me with my grandsons on board. I thought a piece of starboard  making it removable or dbl. 3/4" and tab it both sides and bottom. Still have to give it some thought. Quite aways before I have to decide.

Maybe you could do the double 3/4" glassed with a 1x2 glassed on the inside in a couple places and gelcoat everything.  Then make a "U-channel" of sorts glassed to the inside of the transom to slide the 1x2's into.  Just thinking aloud here.  It would give you what you desire and be removable. It'll be heavy though.

Certainly not as opened as yours but...

Transom opening when I bought the boat.



Added starboard "drop in" that slides into aluminum channel on each side.









Hinged to allow fold down to tilt motor full up if needed.



Works very well but I have limited exposure to begin with.

Just thoughts. :ScrChin:

Good luck. :thumright:
