Got a little of the demo completed this weekend. 

Before

After

I was about one cut off wheel away from getting that transom out.  I’ve replaced one in a 16’ deep v starcraft before and know how fun they can be. This one should be pretty straight forward. As I don’t plan on using a whole lot of wood in this build I think I’m going to spring for some marine grade ply to rebuild the transom. I’m thinking two layers of ½” should do the trick with the balance being used to support the existing short deck. This will give the trolling motor mount a good backing. Things I’d like to get completed this week include;

-    Dress up the areas where I cut off extra supports / side counsel

-    Leak test

-    Rebuck / replace leaky rivets / screws.

-    Leak test again

-             Rebuild transom
