Transom Replacment

[yellowboat]

Well I found out on the weekend that the transom in the doral is rotten . My question is has anyone ever tied to use a product called Seafoam to replace a transom rather than the traditional method of plywood and if so how did it work out.

 

Thanks YB

I've read a lot of positive things about it...

 

one thing is, it takes a lot of work and time to replace the transom, make sure you know what you're getting yourslef into

and that you have enough space and the right tools...

 

you basically have to remove the complete top of your boat, so that you're only left with the "v" and transom, then you have to chip out the wood, make a cast on the inside of the transom, then pour it in and let it cure, then put everything back together

 

it's not a 2 day job... be weary of tackling this project yourself...

I read alot of good thing about the product too but they were all on there website and am a little leary of the info, just wanted to know if anyone had first hand info on the product. I know what I'm getting into I don't want to do the job but there is know way in he** in paying over a grand to have someone else do it and I don't have the fund to get a new boat this tear.
