ToddC,

It looked good, I crawled around and poked and prodded, but I haven't pulled off the motor and I plan to do that now. Initially I was looking for the quick fix to run it this fall yet, but now I plan to do a full "deep dive".

I have a plan in place, thanks to my fishing partner Dean who did the research for me on replacing a transom. He has lots of tools and I think if I'm doing this for the long run, which I am, I will dig deeper and if there is even the slightest hint of need I will rebuild it.

The challenge really is the need to cut out the remaining part of the back deck, which right now is solid, and is a part I am least comfortable about rebuilding...I'm building up courage to bring out the grinder to cut it out.

One of the things I've done, is leave the epoxy skin in place to give me an existing template to feather in the fiberglass cloth to tie everything together.
