Message: <blockquote data-quote="db4570" data-source="post: 499059" data-attributes="member: 33502">I have an old 1963 Aluma Craft 14 footer that has seen better days. The transom wood is rotted out, inside and outside. I want to replace it, but the inside piece is covered by the aluminum frame of the transom. It looks like I can remove the old wood by chipping it out, but I can't figure out how to get the new plywood back in there without disassembling the entire stern of the boat. I am actually thinking about essentially laying up my own plywood, one ply at a time, which I can bend enough to slide into the slot there. I figure coat the plys with enough good glue, clamp each one down while it dries, and how hard could it be? <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🙄" title="🙄" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" />Is this an insane idea? Is there a better way? Thanks for any suggestions.David</blockquote>
