    My first project

    Here is what it looked like after the demo. Do I need to get the rust off and prime the transom?

    I started my boat project today. The transom was completely rotten. All the hardware was rusted. Used a rotary tool to cut the bolts out. I have my transom material. 3/4" ext grade plywood, glue and marine sealer/adhesive and some Spar.
