Re: Time for a new Transom
I threw some flat bar braces at the holy transom today ,and using a hacksaw blade started freeing planks from the transom,interestingly,with the dodgy repairs done in the past with crack in the port side of the transom opening up it has also caused some separation in the 2nd and 3rd planks down,that...

All help appreciated.
Thanks
