[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 508390, member: 21536"] Welcome to TinBoats. That is a really nice boat - congrats. I need to provide the following disclaimer. I'm not an expert and have not done what you are talking about. The video I saw the guy epoxied skins on both the inside and outside of the transom. I kind of like your idea of putting the skin just on the inside. The video I watched, when the guy put the skin on the inside, epoxy oozed out all of the holes in the transom. When it partially set up, he scraped it flush with a putty knife. Pretty cool. I think I would paint the outside of the transom to protect the epoxy from UV rays. Maybe GFlex doesn't have this issue, IDK. Keep in mind the existing top cap will need to fit over the two layers of aluminum + your new transom wood. I think the way you describe doing the new wood transom holes would be considered a best practice. I hope you circle back with some pic of progress on your transom rebuild. [/QUOTE]
