Made some progress on the transom yesterday. I just started chipping away and then just pulled the saw out. I hadn't planned on working on it after driving a few hours to pick up the materials. But, it's not going to tear itself apart. Tonight I'll be removing the actual transom wood. Oh the things I've found so far... Nails, wood screws, huge voids in the outer layer of glass, which is nice because they just peel off lol

Someone spent a fair bit of time adding all that on there too. Looks like the splashwell is cored?

that big thick wood is not needed when you go back, which I think you know. It looks tough but the strength is in the glass, not the wood. My transom was replaced stock, 3 sheets of 1/2 inch wood with glass between. Biggest and toughest part of putting the transom back in is getting is clamped to the hull on the bottom. I had a small void at the very bottom of mine, drilled two holes and filled it in with resin using a bigger syringe to pump the epoxy in one hole till it came out the other hole. I wish I would have paid more attention when clamping it down as I did not notice the void and could have pushed from the inside on teh bottom instead of trying to clamp the bottom with my home made clamps.
Looks great! love to watch these threads, the best part of S&F for me.1973 Viper - sold

Back with more questions. Since I'm new to fiberglass, I though I would get opinions from the guys that have done it. I've been tearing out the transom and drain hole area, and there are just layers and layers of glass on top of the original hull. Most don't seem to be bonded well, it seems the more I scrape, the more that comes up.
It should not be like this right? As in, it should be more difficult to remove? Now, I'm not saying its just flaking by looking at it, but I also am able to scrape it by hand with a little force. Either way I'm scraping it back to bare hull, as I don't want my new glass work on top of junk.
And holy fiberglass in this last pic.. It looks more like something my grandma would have knitted lol

I put a new carpet in my stoker years ago...just pulling the interior and cleaning up the old carpet and glue was enough to put me over the edge.
