Can you do a transom replacement video using pouring system like Seacast or Carbonbond.

[@Beachnative42]

Awesome photography of the process and letting everyone know what worked best and why. Bravo!

[@matthewhammond6736]

This series is blowing up! Love it and keep up the great work!

[@BornAgainBoating]

:) Thank you! Will do!

[@dirtyshirtinfo]

Back in the day I bought that Fein tool off an infomercial one Saturday morning before other manufacturers knocked it off. Blades were only available from Fein. My wife was like what the...? Its nick name at my house is the save-your-a$$ tool because that’s what it does. Love that thing ❤️.

[@BornAgainBoating]

Hahah that's awesome, it's so nice to have!

[@nygardenguru]

What fun! Brings back good memories

[@BornAgainBoating]

Fun is a good word for it :)

[@JerryBeatFreak]

An Oscillating multi tool could probably do a good (and maybe slightly safer) damage to the sides where you used the grinder.

[@leonardcantrell5662]

I use my claw hammers all the time. Very interesting job, that can be applied to other projects. I know this is all hard work and time consuming. Great video as always, Thanks

[@BornAgainBoating]

Thank you!

[@dinacaldwell7522]

I did another transom last spring and used my Rockwell sonic tool. Love the heck out of that. Cuts glass with ease and much safer than grinder with blade I had used in the past. It also has a sonic scraper blade that is awesome on cleaning old sealant off panels like 4200 and 5200

[@BornAgainBoating]

Nice! I've heard nothing but good things about the Rockwell, I think you've mentioned it before too! :) You're the second person that has talked about using these scrapper blades, @JasonU was talking about one that you can put on a sawzall, I've got to get some and try them out!

[@smedoz]

Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge

[@BornAgainBoating]

Thank you for commenting! :)

[@travis.stevens]

This is what we’ve been waiting for! Happy Tuesday! I would go with an oscillating tool and pry bar. Bad Blade works too 😅

[@BornAgainBoating]

Ha Yes sir! It's Tuesday :) I should try the oscillating tool again, I thought it was taking longer lol maybe it deserves another shot :)

[@jaimealbarran6719]

I like the name Born again boating, hope is related to born again Christian 👍🏽 Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@robertovalls]

[@townsville69]

I've seen some demos of a chainsaw bladed angle grinder attachment that might work well on those hard to get wood sections. Dangerous as hell but they seem extremely efficient at carving wood.

[@jkdwayne]

Perfect use for those Carpenter Tools!!

[@BornAgainBoating]

That's right lol

[@breakingbolts8871]

Router with a rabbit bit in it that matches the depth of the left over outer wood. a bearing could ride the edge of the fiberglass exteriot. different depths of the bit could allow it to be done over a couple passes.

[@BornAgainBoating]

I like it! Thank you!

[@snapfish89]

Yeah, I couldn't replace a transom in a jon boat lol Good job. Lots of hard work!

[@BornAgainBoating]

Lol that's too funny! You probably could ;) Thank you!

[@FishOnForte]

[@BornAgainBoating]

You ain't kidding, it's a nasty job lol

[@fredm529]

Incredible work 😳😳.appreciate

[@BornAgainBoating]

Thank you!

[@Azaroski]

Could use a 90 degree flooring saw the one with a reciprocating blade, make a some punch cuts along the outside edge then use the pry bar to pop em out!

[@floridasaltlife]

great work !!

[@BornAgainBoating]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@BornAgainBoating]

Thank you!

[@ericdavi1231]

I’d love to do this same thing to my 1990 23’ Donzi center console. But for now she still runs good so I’m going to let that sleeping dog lie. I can’t wait to see you put this all back together!

[@BornAgainBoating]

Yeah, sometimes that's the best choice :) we're getting there :) slowly but surely, I'm thinking about 2 months and we'll be ready for water!

[@ericdavi1231]

Born Again Boating ... two months isn’t bad!

[@JohnJohn-wr1jo]

What I find so ironic is 50 years ago when fiberglass started replacing wooden boats, everyone said you will never have to worry about rot again.

[@tomharrell1954]

I think That old outside strip of transom could be best removed with the 4 inch grinder with a chain saw blade. Yes, they do make 4 inch chainsaw blades that will work on a grinder! Wood totem pole carvers use them a lot. I think I saw one at harbor freight. My gosh be careful it could bite off a hand in a heart beat.

[@redsoxwinagain2007]

I love estwing hammers.

[@zechariahhill7724]

ESTWING ROCKS!!!!!!

[@markc4921]

That was some nasty water. Enjoyed the video.

[@BornAgainBoating]

Yeah it was! Thank you!

[@liljrock81]

I use a multi tool for plunge cutting transom. The ones that have a vibrating blade on the end. A lot safer than a cut off wheel.

[@BornAgainBoating]

Thank you! They are way safer :)

[@jackthekokmonst]

to make this a lil easier and safer you can cut/work out a 4-5 in section and the a nice sharp chisel will work her out

[@sethlamson]

"Infested with MRSA or some other disease, this is why a mask is a must." Hahaha. Was there a gain of function research lab in that live well?

[@ghostwriter1016]

Just found this video. I have seen a chainsaw used to remove the wood from the difficult places to get to. You just need to get the right angle to get the most bang for the buck.

[@henrycole8705]

Aluminum haul is the only way to go. no dry rot.

[@davidd8435]

Grinder tip of the day, never have grinder plugged in while changing the blade. The Estwing hammer if you measure the length it should be 16 inches. Its a framing hammer you can use the length to layout your stud wall framing in a house, 16" on center. But you probably know all this.

[@BornAgainBoating]

Hahah yes, they are a seriously dangerous tool! Actually I didn't realize they were 16"! Thank you! The studs and framing 16" on center I knew though ;) but now I know the hammer trick! Thank you :)

[@veryrandom5148]

That boat might be ready for next year

[@BornAgainBoating]

Don't say that! Lol my wife reads the comments ;) Should be ready for water in about 2 months :)

[@seanlathbury5410]

If you do another transom like this....use a wood carvers attachment. "King Arthur blade." It's a chainsaw blade for your side grinder. Deadly as hell but really effective at removing wood

[@BornAgainBoating]

I think I'm the only person that didn't know about that blade lol Thank you for sharing!

[@user-jb1li9cq2b]

You mention the dangers of cleaning the remaining plywood in which you use the grinder and the C7 blade. Obviously, it's an accident waiting to happen. My thinking is trying a palm router with an offset base and a spiral router bit or similar. Maybe starting with a shallow depth first run and increasing depths as needed. Should be safer to say the least.

[@markrooney6147]

Estwings are definitely the best hammers

[@BornAgainBoating]

I agree :)

[@jeffroberts4788]

try the chain saw blade for the grinder

[@adamfuhrman4105]

Love these videos But i think the fein multimaster is an oscillating tool rather than osicillating.

[@BornAgainBoating]

Thank you lol you're right!

[@donsscooters]

Small Chainsaw is best. A garage sale electric one is so fast!!

[@hookzsettv4842]

I don’t even own a boat (yet🤞🏻) but man I love watching your vixeos

[@BornAgainBoating]

Hahaha yeah, attack that debt for sure, but you can't ever pass up on a good deal lol what a catch 22 lol

[@TheDoug9901]

done this but did everything from the inside. cross drilled all pockets so they drain no blackwater pockets to keep the boat light.

[@BornAgainBoating]

Nice!

[@josephgendreau828]

Everglades???? just a shot keep up the good work. Quick question, On my grady White the hull ID is not the Aluminum plate like yours, How should I retain the original fiberglass stamping when I go to replace my transom in the future?

[@BornAgainBoating]

Close, it's a Sea Vee :) no worries, thank you! Sometimes you can cut around it and keep from glassing that portion. Or you can write them down and just have a plate made, it's not expensive, you can even router them into a little plate yourself! Just as long as there is a permanent fixture of the ID there so if you ever get stopped by the Coast Guard of FWC, it's there. Don't ask me how I know, but if they see a new transom they will look for it ;) and believe it or not, it is a ticket-able offense lol

[@SoWhatChris]

Mersa. Now that’s funny. August 2019 seems decades from now.

[@GulfSoftwash]

That boat is 100 percent a 32 or 34 Sea Vee. Dead give away by the square livewell in the transom and the offset of the speakers in the stern for the walkthrough.

[@BornAgainBoating]

100% Correct lol they are such a nice boat :)

[@GulfSoftwash]

As a reward, when I drag my boat down there I’m gonna need some deep drop and lobster numbers 👍🏻

[@BornAgainBoating]

[@meatball1080]

Oh yeah, first! Love your videos, keep it up.

[@BornAgainBoating]

You were the first! Hah nice work ;)

[@carlaschenkel5844]

Why do you cut the back side of the transom out when you are cutting out the inside ? You could replace the transom from the inside and not have to do all the fairing on the outside and you have cut the integrity out of the transom ?

[@jackthekokmonst]

i do the inside and you have to work around the top cap just started working with my dad and thats the only way he thinks works but this looks way easier

[@mccutcheonservicesllc81]

What's wrong with Estwing hammers? I own two of them and have had them for probably 20 years 🤣

[@BornAgainBoating]

I'm with you!

[@pangrac1]

1:21 Why u dont use drill hammer with narrower tip?

[@donaldpine3543]

Have you tried a router for the sandwiched plywood? Seems like a trim router may do it.

[@BornAgainBoating]

I haven't but I plan on getting one soon to have and try that next time I do a job like this :)

[@grumpysailor8132]

I see you upgraded to the super high performance Tennis safety shoes! ;) I also like how you drag your 110v cord through standing water, that was a special moment! :) As far as the transom, I would have used a plunging router with an assortment of dado blades. You cut a clean line around the edge and the router would have had a clean and easy cut. Would have taken about 10 minutes to clean that wood out (make sure to use the carbide bits and not the cheap ones). Just my .02 EU

[@BornAgainBoating]

Hahah, yes, nothing but the best personal protection equipment around here lol and about the 110, it's not like it's 220 ;) lol you know you're the second person to suggest the router! You say things like "clean and easy cut" and "10 minutes" and now I'm thinking about how to be able to get every bodies suggestions before spending two hours in a fiberglass dust cloud! :) Because that probably would have been way faster!

[@grumpysailor8132]

@@BornAgainBoating Well, you did cut a nice straight line around the entire perimeter of the transom... I really thought you were prepping it to use a Router last week after the cut out. The router is also a good tool if you install/replace hardware screwed into a fiberglass sandwich deck. You route out the wood/balsa/GRP sandwich material and fill with epoxy/GRP and re-drill your new waterproof through deck hole. Works like sliced bread ;)

[@vmonroig21]

Interesting project. With as poorly as everything has been built and rigged. I almost want to see you cut out everything even the old floor stringers and start fresh.

[@thehappytexan]

I was going to suggest an oscillating cut off tool for the transom, but you have one and I’m sure you have tried that. Then I thought maybe a dado blade on a circular saw, but you can’t get the saw flush against the glass to cut straight down. How about using an adjustable heal bar to pound under the wood instead of a standard pry bar? Like one of these. OTC (7175) Indexing Pry Bar Set - 3 Piece www.amazon.com/dp/B008PTNM3A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_PgJsDb9J7XS9P.

[@BornAgainBoating]

Well, the last trim I tried the oscillating saw I thought it was going slower, but maybe I need to try it again, every body keeps suggesting it. So maybe I just had a bad blade on it and was frustrated, could be just creating more work than needs to be done lol Those pry bars might be a better fit than the standard ones, never tried that either! I'm realizing how nice it is to have all of you to give all of these great suggestions! I wish I could read the comments before doing the work and making the video lol Thank you!

Figured we'd try it :) Plus, we don't have to put all of that stuff at the end of the video, just sprinkle it in the middle and that way it's not like a sales pitch at the end of the video lol Just trying new things and figuring out how to make a better video for everybody :) Just a hint on next weeks video, ;) for anybody who reads the comments lol, working on getting everything ordered for after we get the transom done so trying to figure out if a longer video like everybody wants will work when taking a bunch of measurements and figuring out how much $$Cash$$ it's going to cost to order all of the wire and pumps and stuff :) I want to try and get up to about 12 min like everyone wants, I don't think the 20 min vid train is for us, just because I don't want to just stretch stuff out and be a bore ya know!

Put it this way, Tuesdays are a late day for me because of the comments at night, but normally I'm in bed by 8 with a cup of coffee made and next to my bed. My alarms is at the foot of the bed so I have to get up to turn it off, but it goes off a little bit before 3, I slam the coffee and sleep for about 10 min or so until I have to get up jacked on coffee and rushing to the bathroom. Then it's working on the videos and all that stuff until work at 8 AM! So the haters will always be there, but they don't really matter, they aren't doing anything. You just keep at it and work on figuring out how to make a better product that will better serve more people to build your community!

@@BornAgainBoating oh Ive tried that.....I need a nice and EZ storyboard format. I'll still watch. I like to see the anguish that goes into fiberglass boat repairing.

Toothed tile blade. will cut away fiberglass much much more safely.

A Brake Adjustment tool is made of tempered steel and shaped like a 90 degree chisel. It can be sharpened and used to clean out the recesses.

Should be every bodies favorite boat :)

A small chainsaw, and I mean small will eat that old wood right out of there with a little finesse.

[@BornAgainBoating]

The chainsaw is getting a lot of promotion lately :) Thank you!

[@aaronwood3540]

@@BornAgainBoating there's one I believe they actually call a carving saw. It's small and light weight. The bar it wide at the back and narrow out onto the tip. Makes for better control in areas you need to be careful in. As always if you decide to go with that, be cautious of the kick back. It's more of a kick up. You'll understand once you use it. Chainsaw is a chainsaw no matter the size. I would get an old ladies g or a doner boat and do a little practice with it to get the feel for it. Once you have it down. You'll never use your grinder for that job again.

[@aaronwood3540]

An old log. Good greif this stupid phone changing my words around lol. Please do not practice on any old ladies!!!!!!!

[@BornAgainBoating]

Hahah yeah, not into slicing up old ladies lol that's funny! I've got to look into getting one the next time we do a transom job. It's like the number one suggestion from everybody :)

[@aaronwood3540]

@@BornAgainBoating I used one myself on a bass boat transom. Makes short work of that job. There's a product out of Florida call seacast. It's a liquid that epoxy that cures bullet proof hard. There's several shops even using it to replace stringers. It's a little pricey but you'll never replace the transom or stringers again. There's a few KZbin videos on it with the guys using chainsaws to remove the old wood. Check it out!.

[@TheDoug9901]

This is how I do transoms but I have never used synthetic yet. The boat would have to be the very high end before I would spend money like that. Usually, 3/8 wood and multiple layers rough it up so the resin can stick to it. Epoxy if big horsepower used. I put 150hp on a 16ft boat and used polyester resin and stress cracks from asshole to breakfast I lean heavily toward west system epoxy now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGmvYYKMn7uEr6s

[@BornAgainBoating]

Boatoutfitters are a great place! If doing Coosa though, probably have to do Poly just because of the cost of Coosa lol

[@TheDoug9901]

@@BornAgainBoating like 20ft boat low-end boat I would use wood way cheaper. But I would seriously consider epoxy resin. A transom should last 20 years min 30 if done right. By that time who cares. 10 gallons of poly to do stringers in that boat imagine the cost in West sys.

[@MrAlpineArcher]

great video but the self promotion every 5 seconds gets lame fast...

[@BornAgainBoating]

Thank you! :) Just trying new stuff and seeing how it plays out!

[@pikakenut]

This drives me absolutely crazy. The next person that I see re do a transom by cutting the outside skin is gonna get the dummy award. Always always always cut the splash well out from inside the boat even if you have to cut the rear corners of the gunwale off. Always always always leave the outside molded skin of the transom to bond your new core to. This is just stupid. Feel free to comment or contact me for real fiberglass advise. By the way i build lifetime boats that never break in Maui Hawaii.

Any good videos you would recommend?
