[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 279810, member: 9169"] Thanks Dave!! Yeah, the transom work has been SLOW and tedious. I'm looking forward to getting it done and being able to move forward with the boat. I think I'm just going to sand down the problem areas on the boat and give the rest of it a nice scuff and then paint. The original paint isn't horrible, just rather faded and dull looking. So instead of having to deal with all the extra work of stripping I'll just do the best prep I can without fussing with stripping. Thanks for the heads up on Home Depot being able to color match the RustOleum professional. Thats awesome!! Makes my color choices almost limitless. For the drain plug I already talked to Jaime (Ranchero50) about welding a piece of plate on for me. He only lives a few minutes away, plus I'll get to check out that sweet jet ski tin he built!! Good idea on using a plug though. I may just pick up a drain plug from wally world and run the boat a bit without the seat before I get it welded shut, just incase I decide to put it back in. I ended up going with the US composites epoxy resin instead of the Coat It you suggested. So far it has worked well, but I've only mixed up one batch with the fairing compound to fill a few voids. I'll find out this weekend how good it works once I start coating the transom wood. [/QUOTE]
