    Hydrostream Vamp or Verado Transom Construction

    Anybody familiar with Vamp or Verado Transom design/construction? I'm rebuilding the cracked and slightly rotted transom on a 1982 Hdrostream Vamp (bowider version of the Verado). That hull has a flat transom across the center, with winglike, foamfilled "pillows" extending out to the sides, which angle back at about a 15 degree angle, rather than forward as on most other Streams. I've removed all of the wood from the center section from above. The wood appears to go about an inch out toward the side past where the pillows begin, and after that it's all foam. There seems to be no wood in or behind the pillows. So the wood transom appears not be tied in at all to the sides of the hull. I'm wondering what supports the transom if that's the case. Or am I missing a something that's obscured by the foam. I don't want to cut into the transom fiberglass to explore unless I have to.

    I can't speak for that particular hull. But I can tell you there's nothing but the glass holding the transom in a Viking/Vking. It just kinda hangs back there. No other structure contacts it. Thats why knees/gussets are so important when rebuilding.

    So I wouldn't be surprised if they did it the same on this hull.
