Some may remember my post from a few months ago about my transom in my boat I thought it was rotted out... finally this weather and pictures of catfish and walleye from this time last year lit the fire under me...
I cut the aluminum top cap off the transom and was shocked to see what was in there, I pulled out about 2 five gallon bucket of rotten moldy sawdust, after getting it all out and cleaning it with some 409 I finally today cut my new transom out of 3/4" oak plywood, I predrilled all my holes and screw holes ill need and just got the first coat of waterproofing stain on it, I know it won't last forever but it'll last long enough. Tomorrow ill get another coat on then glue and screw it all together. Its a VERY tight fit I almost couldn't get it out after predrilling the holes, lake point custom fabrication in erda is going to weld it all back together once im finished.
