That is a real cool rig. When I was a young man skiing in Skiers alley, I had 2 friends I could mooch a ride with. One, a GT160 with a 100 Rude. The other, a Jetflite with a 135 Johnson. That was a hoot of a boat! I did a transom on my own Skiflite decades ago and it was the easiest transom I ever did. The only point glassed together was the well, the rest was only riveted. If all the Glastrons are built like that, it should be a cakewalk.
OK, I got down off the porch and ran with the big dogs....kinda sore now....think I'll just lay here in the flowerbed for a while...

Yo Bernie. "Ski Alley" is purty much a misnomer these days. The traffic is ridiculous.

My fondest memory of Ski Alley, besides skiing. Is blowing off "fast" jet skis with my 'Betty Crocker' 153. Course that was a few years back, and jet skis are faster now. But I think that should count ...

Hey oldskier, not to hijack your thread too bad, did I see where you replaced the transom on a Carlson Contender awhile back??? All the pictures are gone, can this be done without taking the cap off or what??? Any advice other then sell it???? Thanks

That poor boat....I can't help you with this one, mine had the transom removed from the OUTSIDE by a previous owner. I had been told it couldn't be fixed properly, so I kinda took it as a challenge. All I can tell you about separating the deck is that if any of the bow is tabbed, it would be a real challenge to get in there and cut it. Fat boys need not apply.
If it was mine, I would cut out the rear deck and splashwell and glass it back in. I have cut the rear deck only on two boats now, my Powercat and this Allison. I have seen it done well and badly. If you do it, just be prepared to reglass the point where it was cut, inside and out, at least 6 inches in all directions. The body work is a pain to get right, but I think it is the lesser of two evils, especially as I get older (and fatter). On my Powercat, there was no line visible and you could sit directly on the place I cut it, no cracking. I hope the Ally comes out as good.OK, I got down off the porch and ran with the big dogs....kinda sore now....think I'll just lay here in the flowerbed for a while...
