well done man, currently doing the same thing to the same boat. i was trying to get a look at what you did with the transom. i think i saw a giant aluminum plate. was it rotten & did the plate suffice? i was in the boat today trying to make a plan for a full transom replacement. it doesnt look like its 1 large piece like every other boat. rather it looks like wood blocking embeded in the hull where attachment points are. for instance the section supporting the outboard is no more than 20" wide. but i see the edges of it line up with the stringers in the floor then gussets were glassed in place to bond the "transom" to the stringers. any input would be great.

[@williamsdiy1434]

Sorry it took so long to reply back. My Transom was not rotted. I just had the plate for extra strength. It sounds like what you are doing will be strong enough, But I am no professional. If I would change anything on the boat it wouldn't have carpet.

fantastic restore. About how many hours would you say you put in on this restore? How was/is the Force engine?

[@williamsdiy1434]

The engine runs fantastic. And as for time, It took me a couple of months. An hour here and there and on the weekends.

[@joeguerrier7975]

Great work. I redid the same boat about 7 or so years ago. I’m about to redo another one. Did you ever take the windshield off?

[@williamsdiy1434]

Thank you. No I never took the windshield off. There was no need.

[@bjodaddyo]

I have the same exact boat with the same exact problem. Did you use marine grade or common plywood? The project looked like a lot of work but it came out very nice.

[@williamsdiy1434]

Yes I use marine grade Polywood. And yes it was a lot of work but it was a lot of fun.👍

[@thomassudia7132]

This is a perfect tutorial for me! Well done! Couple questions. How did you handle the foam? remove completely, replace entirely? What material did you use? Lastly what was your total cost? Thanks for your time!

[@williamsdiy1434]

There's no real easy way to get the foam out. I used a Sawzall clawhammer and heavy duty putty knife. I ultimately did not put anything back in it's place. total price was $1,500.

[@mfloater638]

Do you have a video of you taking off the interior side panels

[@williamsdiy1434]

Yes I do. The fourth video.

[@dreadheadgarage]

Total build cost???

[@williamsdiy1434]

$1000. Roughly

[@coastalcruising8231]

Awesome job!! Do you have top to in close it?

[@williamsdiy1434]

Do you mean a Bimini top? Not yet that will be my next purchase for the coming season.

[@lowellcooke2795]

Hello, I am redoing a 2000 2150 bayliner and am having some problems. Would like some advice but didn't want to take up all the space in this post. Is there a way I could contact you directly? Thanks,

[@williamsdiy1434]

You can contact me at my email [e-mail]. and I can give you my number. Disclaimer i am not a professional.

[@lowellcooke2795]

@@williamsdiy1434 😀 thanks, neither am I.

[@ryderzac1]

From what date to what date did you start and finish ,how long did it take you?

[@williamsdiy1434]

I started at the beginning of April and finished it at the end of August. That was just working on it part-time.

[@seansimons7043]

What no water test

[@williamsdiy1434]

No. I ran out of Summer time☹
