I build boats for a living. 25 plus years so far. I have been looking for a project like this.

Watching from Australia, loving your work, mate, you make it look easy. I need a new transom in my boat, you almost tricked me into believing I could do that myself! Then I b1tch sl@pped myself and booked it in to get it done by a professional lol

[@dylanbefishing]

Lmaoo! My Aussie fam! Bring her here to Florida and I gotchu covered lol 😂 🤙🏼

[@timjohnun4297]

@@dylanbefishing Wish I could! I'm taking it in this morning. Putting in a 25 inch thermo-lite (Coosa board) one. Got a nice 115 Johnno to go on there :)

I subbed. Keep making videos man. I’m about to be following the same process

[@bellevue260]

I'm enjoying this project very much! Thank you for sharing!

[@dylanbefishing]

Glad you enjoy it!

I'm interested in your use of CSM and epoxy since I thought they were not compatible in terms of the binding of the strands not dissolving with the lack of styrene. Are you using a special approach or technique? Your rebuild is great, thanks for posting!

[@dylanbefishing]

Thanks man! and great point, powder CSM works fine with epoxy.

Dude, put the thickened epoxy in a bag and put it on like icing. So much faster and comes out like caulk.

He knows this trick, He did it when he glued the floors in

[@dylanbefishing]

another person suggested that and it worked out great! thanks for the advice

[@josephshultz6726]

Where can I get that flex board? I hear you mention West Marine... Do they sell it there?

[@dylanbefishing]

No if you’re located near Fort Lauderdale go to FGCI

[@brianpino7274]

What do you recommend to fill smaller holes? Like filling the holes for the t top to then re-drill into them. T top screws seem a bit loose.
