[QUOTE="Nussy, post: 117234, member: 2148"] Well, got a little done this weekend. Cut and glued the transom, then gave it a coat of poly. Probably throw a second coat on later today. [ATTACH type="full" alt="New Transom.JPG"]9971._xfImport[/ATTACH] Removed the transom supports from the boat, so I could fit the new transom it. Removed the stickers, glue, etc on a butch of the boat. Wire brushed the transom. There was some pitting in it that I attribute to the transom having been treated plywood. Went over that with some JB Weld, just to fill in the hole and try tp prevent it from getting worse. [ATTACH type="full" alt="transom pitting.JPG"]9972._xfImport[/ATTACH] There was a panel on the bow that had a piece of carpet in it. Not sure why but I hated the way it looked. Decided to remove it and fill in all the holes with Bondo. Will sand it all smoot and paint it. Hopefully it turns out OK. If not, I can always put the carpet piece back in. [ATTACH type="full" alt="bondo bow.JPG"]9973._xfImport[/ATTACH] Once I get the transom back in. I'll get the boat off the trailer and flipped so I can sand, steelflex, and paint it. Trying to decide whether to sand, repaint, and reboard the trailer before painting the boat or after completed. Leaning toward doing that next so that I don't have to take the boat of the trailer again. [/QUOTE]
