    Need some suggestions for some transom replacement issues.

    Couple issues with my recent transom install. Nothing major but I would love some feedback and suggestions. Pictures are below the questions! 1. I need some suggestions for filling a gap between the edges for splash-well and transom. The metal plate never touched the transom, it was filled...

    1970 Mirrocraft deck replacement. The foam under the deck?

    Right now the foam is completely bone dry. I've taken samples up to 6 inches deep.

    1970 Mirrocraft deck replacement. The foam under the deck?

    OK I want to revisit this project with the foam. OK so I've been having a back and forth with the VP of Mirrocraft and someone that designs their boats. Kinda feels like I messed up starting to rip up the foam because as I've learned, the foam is the structural support for the boat. Also...

    1970 Mirrocraft deck replacement. The foam under the deck?

    *UPDATE* I just received two emails from the folks at Mirrorcraft. They have confirmed that the foam HAS to be there, this boat was designed with the foam being the structural support. They said the bottom of the boat will not hold up without it and will change shape and could cave in and also...

    1970 Mirrocraft deck replacement. The foam under the deck?

    OK major change of plans I think... I was not expecting to have to use 2-part foam right now. Also looks like there was a protective layer of something sprayed in the boat before the foam was poured in. So a gallon of something like Gluvit is about $120~130.00 dollars, and I'm guessing this...

    1970 Mirrocraft deck replacement. The foam under the deck?

    I um, I'm feeling a little overwhelmed right now for sure! I don't think "not" putting the foam back in is an option. I've got a good chunk of the foam out and I've yet to see a stinger or a brace. The bottom of the boat is really flimsy like the outer hull transom skin. I can actually see...

    1970 Mirrocraft deck replacement. The foam under the deck?

    Wow dude your everywhere! :D The only issue I see is that is seems like the foam is what is making the deck so solid. The plywood is directly sitting on it. I pulled up a corner and broken it by mistake, looks like the boat was sprayed with some type of liner? The hull under the foam was DRY...

    1970 Mirrocraft deck replacement. The foam under the deck?

    I've got a 1970 Mirrocraft Ski-N-Troll that the transom was completely rotted out of. Bought this boat with a Merc 50HP on an EZ Loader trailer for $750.00 knowing it needed a little work. So I've got the transom out and everything is going good there. The deck was replaced at some point and...
