[QUOTE="bigwave, post: 283284, member: 7537"] One more thing, You can call Mirrorcraft and they can email you an exact template for the transom board. It is really not that hard to take off. You just have to take the bolts out of the corner caps and remove them. Take all of the bolts out of the transom brace, pull that cap off the top of the transom. You can then remove the old transom board. Use the old board as a template to make your new one. I used 2 pieces of 3/4 plywood, glued them together with Titebond III glue, and used fiberglass and gelcoat to seal....this is overkill but I had it laying around the garage so I used it. You could seal with less expensive spar urethane. You may also want to consider the time you will be spending on you boat, I have been working on mine since feb, but I am paying as I go, since I have to take care of life's priority's. [/QUOTE]
