See the oscillator tool you used to cut the outer part off (usually referred to as a multimaster or multitool) you can get longer scraper blades for them for wood and even for silicon believe it or not. Fein have an extensive range of blades that you could have scraped that rotten wood out flush. I've just bought a Mayland boat and already my Fein mutimaster has done about 80% of the work on its own.

Who in the devil's hell told you to cut the back end of a boat out you're supposed to pull the top and then go down in there and take the transom out, You just took all the strength out of the transom...
@PastoralHomesteadOutdoors4 жыл бұрын
That option was not possible due to the top cap overlapping the transom, which is addressed somewhere in the video series. There is no sacrifice of strength or rigidity when cutting out the back end and re-fiberglassing it back in. If you would, just take a peak at the rest of the videos and see the final result. This is the same process that many mechanics and boat manufactures go through when they replace transoms. I appreciate your comment and concern.

@PastoralHomesteadOutdoors4 жыл бұрын
I understand what your saying and we definitely considered doing that. However, after checking with a variety of sources, this is the process we chose to follow. There are countless youtube videos that use this method as well as a Ranger technician I spoke to that performs this same procedure on newer Ranger boats that are fixed under warranty, although they cut it our from the inside. We didn't destroy this old boat, as a matter of fact, I've spent several thousand dollars keeping it on the water. Just because someone chooses to do something differently than you would perhaps do it, doesn't mean that it is necessarily incorrect, it's just different. As for putting it back together, we simply built the coosa board out with fiberglass until it was flush, re-epoxy the cut away pieces, beveled the seams and fiberglassed until it was flush and then sanded and gelcoated over that. I assume its stronger now than when it rolled of the factory floor.
