I dont have any pictures but instead of it dipping down into the splashwell just cut out the splashwell and make it all flat and even from the top of the transom to right behind the backseat area.

Just cut out splash well do your removal and replacement and many different ways of covering the large hole,
one of the best is to use a smooth surface to make a replacement, wax properly then gelcoat, mat, 1208 / 1708
use to fill hole gel coat patch area, gel coat repair area wet sand buff good as new
Looks like your on a mission... not scaredWe have invented the world; WE see

When you install replacement, bevel near seam area for narrow layer of mat, the underside is where you beef up for strength, make sure to sand well the under side where glass will attach.

Keepitsimple
Just use a cut off wheel, where the motor well drops down cut a line(front part of well ) at edge back towards transom, remove whole well area now you have access to rotted wood, don't get fancy Home Depot has 3/4 marine plywood one strip will be good for stringers round top edges so 1708/1208 will flow no air bubbles with a layer of mat underneath use resin roller to get excess and air out, your strength is the glass, install mat and 1708 between two sheets of that 3/4 plywood use vinyl ester, make sure everything is sealed with resin, for transom.
Most shops have a big flat smooth well waxed table to make parts, I would make a template of the hole you have to cover and make a part to fit, whatever you can find at HD with a high gloss surface wax 4 to 5 times with mold wax let dry between coats very important paint with white gel coat let it kick then two layers of mat and two 1208 or 1708 fit install finish gel.Last edited by CUDA; 05-30-2021 at 01:50 PM.

It's not that hard at all .. or pulling the deck off isnt either just time consuming mostly if going to do it might as well go all in. End up with a better end result. Just depends on which way you decide to go. Get all that hardware of and everything else it's got to come off unless your doing a **** job and not worth it then.

Right now I'm thinking multi piece layered transom, with the seam/joint between the pieces moving around between the layers. That way I wouldn't have to split the hull, and splashwell would stay untouched.
More annoying, but when I redid my aristocrat it was a total bitch to even out a cut in the gel coat; get it good in one spot and go through in another, repeat x infinity.

Okay, I backed up, sank a rum and coke, and turned into a butcher:
Before this, I was under the deck trying to cut out the transom, but the issue was the splashwell dives down RIGHT IN FRONT of the upper part of the transom, and there's a brass drain hole that goes through it, and... I just don't see how it was going to happen with a multipiece, maybe someone smarter than me could accomplish it, but this is the current game plan:
- Cutout splashwell (done)
- Remove/Replace Transom
- Hang splashwell back on, at the right height
- Glass from below (that'll be fun)
- fill cut marks with resin and gelcoat
Might not be perfect but oh well. Going for it!
Also I have massive dick energy man, I measured it and I'm in the 95th percentile
