    New Overnighter, new transom

    It bonds very well to the skin. I spilled some in the bilge area and had to grind it away. I couldn't remove it any other way. With that said, you should glass the skin back in correctly just to be safe. I have photos of the process if anyone is interested but keep in mind I am no expert.

    New Overnighter, new transom

    I had my Seacast shipped to where I work rather than my house and saved about $75.

    New Overnighter, new transom

    I also capped my transom to eliminate the aluminum angle. I think it looks better capped.

    New Overnighter, new transom

    I did my 91 Overnighter last spring with Seacast and you are correct about it being very thick. I did it exactly like you are describing, removing the outer skin to aid in getting all of the old and rotten wood out. 1 mistake I made was this.

    Thank you. I can't wait to fish on it. It will be so much more comfortable than my old boat.

    New To Me Sailfish 282

    I have just purchased a 2003 Sailfish 282. It is by far the largest boat I have owned as my current one is a 1991 Overnighter 204C. I am sure I will have lots of questions on how the different systems work and ask the forum for insight. My first question is in regards to the attached photo. Were...

    1984 GW Sailfish 255

    Well that makes much more sense. Not sure why I didn't realize that. This is my first transom job but I have done a fair amount of glass work. Thank you.

    I guess I could cut here. What do you guys think? Any help is appreciated.

    1984 GW Sailfish 255

    I recently acquired a 1984 sailfish project boat. Transom is cracked, rotted and needs replaced. This is where I had planned to cut but I can't figure out how to remove the livewells in the corners.
