[QUOTE="Jdholmes, post: 226883, member: 6982"] Finally got my transom out! What a job that was! I ended up buying some rotozip bits for my dremel 4000. I cut along the borders where the aluminum lips were, this seemed to do the trick. I didn't go all the way through cause I didn't want to mess up the aluminum back of the boat by mistake, so I just went almost all the way through and then ripped it with my hands. After I got the big pieces out the others weren't much work. Took about 15 minutes. I will post pics in a bit. As far as replacing the transom...if you can see in my pics above it was done in a T shape and by the way turned out to be five pieces connected by staples and pressure. I think I would rather just do one big shape that goes down further to the bottom of the boat. Would this be better or worse for any reason? [/QUOTE]
