[QUOTE="JMill, post: 375035, member: 14265"] Ok thanks guys. I got the transom wood out and it was much worse than I thought. The two ends were the only pieces that were in descent enough shape to tell it was wood!! In the center where the motor mounts, it was only about 3/16"-1/4" thick and a mixture of sawdust and mud. I'm amazed the motor was still hanging off of it. Anyways, I'll be starting on the lumber tomorrow. I'd like to get the transom finished and then launch the boat somewhere so I can try to locate the leaks. I do know that it leaks from the keel that runs the length of the boat down the center. I caulked all the way around it one time and it stayed bone dry for a few days until it wore off. Until next time! [/QUOTE]
