You are a Great teacher Captain Joe your lessons have been indispensable in helping me renovate my 1972 KingFisher. Liked subscribed and shared. Thank you.
Wow, thanks so much, and welcome to the channel! Glad to hear that the videos are helping with your Kingfisher restoration, and I wish you all the best!
Thanks, I have had a lot of practice! I hope some of the tips and techniques are helpful for everyone out there thinking about doing a transom replacement for the first time. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Gr8 info Joe, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge of boat building/repairing. This level of expertise sharing is simply unheard of in today's market & for that my hat's off to you, thank you. Putting this knowledge to use repairing delamination on a 1973 Prindle 16 Cat!
thank you for the working mans version on how to get it done! i am working on my transom replacement and know i am on the right track. i have more confidence with my work now, nothing on a boat is plumb or perfect so on a restore just get the tools and material and get to work! thanks again your episode was perfectly timed to my project
You are very welcome! I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying our style of videos! Stressing over perfection can certainly hold you back, and take lots of enjoyment out of doing work like this. Don't get me wrong, I always encourage doing quality work, that is going to be seaworthy and strong, but there is a happy balance for sure. Thanks for watching, and I wish you all the best with your transom replacement!
He sure did! David is a great guy, and I really enjoy his videos! We have commented back and forth on each other's channels lately and I'm happy to help him any way I can. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
Dear Joe, I wish I had this episode 1 year ago when I was tackling my transom! I did know of the angle cut, but I ended up rounding and shaping with the grinder. So much useful knowledge. If it is not in your todo list, maybe consider also showing us how to drill outboard holes vertically. I know there is the transom drill template for outboards, but its too expensive for DIY or one off, am sure you'll have better suggestions. Again, thank you for all the knowledge you are sharing. I am learning SO much!!
They work great! I made a video on them a few months back, and it should be pretty easy to find. If you have any questions, just let me know. Thanks again for watching!
I do the hot glue trick. I never thought to use paint sticks. I took some used house paneling and a table saw and cut a stack of inch and a half strips. I label the transom sides bow and stern because when I started it helped me remember those terms. I would love to use coosa. But the cost is too much when you count shipping to indiana(louisville ky area). At least it was last time I checked and no where within a 6+ hour drive keeps it in stock. Makes a sheet of 3/4 around 600 bucks!
Yep, paint sticks work pretty good, and I get handfuls for free from our local marine hardware store. Wow, 600 bucks hurts!! I can get 3/4 Coosa for around 350 bucks and only have to drive about 20 minutes to pick it up. Maybe Coosa will get some more distributors throughout the country, and make it a little easier to source. I appreciate you watching and commenting!
In terms of tools, I probably have more than I need, but fewer than I want -- multiple angle grinders/sanders, a DA, a belt sander and an oscillator/multitool to name a few. I would give any of them up before the multitool -- as you pointed out, if you do much in the way or repair, rebuild or DIY, the oscillator has no good equivalent. Looking forward to the next vid.
Hello Joe, I have got centreboard and rudder blade made out of 3/4 inch thick marine ply on my sailing dinghy. Do you think that one could make rot proof foils from coosa? Obviously edges will be rounded, tapered and sealed.
I would imagine that the 26 pound density Coosa board could work very well in that application, although I have never personally built a centreboard out of it. I have been using Coosa for years, in all kinds of heavy duty and commercial type marine uses for years, and have had nothing but success when working with it. I hope this helps and I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Love seeing how things get laid out..... and let's face it, I'm seeing a lot of motors dropping off the back of boats on youtube nowadays.... lmao, it's funny watching a motor fall off a boat just so it ain't your expensive motor? peace
Yes, I would think so. It does need to at least be painted, gelcoated, or a light layer of fiberglass, then paint or gelcoat over the fiberglass if it is going to be out in the open, or people are going to be in contact with it. Thanks for watching!
Love the video, but I think you cut that bevel backwards. You said you marked the forward side with the star, but you cut the bevel the opposite way so when you placed the board in the boat the star was on the aft side. If the transom had not been symmetric the piece would not have fit.
Nope, I didn't cut it backwards. I understood the orientation of the mark, and adjusted my cut accordingly. As I said in the video, there is not an exact way you have to mark it, just as long as YOU understand what it means. I hope this clarifies things, thanks for watching
Great explanation on the use of Coosa Board. Thanks for the video.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting!

I think Cruising The Cut mentioned he is following your videos on his rebuild. An this is exactly where hes at on it.
He sure did! David is a great guy, and I really enjoy his videos! We have commented back and forth on each other's channels lately and I'm happy to help him any way I can. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
Love the videos Capt. Great instruction and always great camera work. Could watch an episode every day.
Wow, thank you! I wish I could make a video for you all every day!😁
Roll tide. I love your videos. They are incredibly instructional. I just started watching you, but I am learning a lot. Thanks.
Haha, you got it! Welcome to the channel and thanks so much for watching and commenting!
"Spend a litle money on some spring clamps" Roger that Captain.
It is money well spent, I guarantee it! I will put a Amazon link below all of the videos descriptions for you all to use. Thanks for watching!
Another great video, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much for watching and commenting!

Ok I gotta find the video for that transom clamp!!! One I'm doing is bigger than I'm used to. And those look perfect to do it!
They work great! I made a video on them a few months back, and it should be pretty easy to find. If you have any questions, just let me know. Thanks again for watching!
@FishBumpTV went to the channel page and it was right there! Definitely gonna be making them this week!
Hi Captain Joe!

Haha, yep! I could spend every dollar I make on tools, but the multi tool is one of my favorites! Thanks for watching and commenting

Thanks! Yep, I have seen some of those same videos! Funny, but not funny if it is you😂
Is it possible to use this material as a hard top for my catamaran and gel coat it?
Yes, I would think so. It does need to at least be painted, gelcoated, or a light layer of fiberglass, then paint or gelcoat over the fiberglass if it is going to be out in the open, or people are going to be in contact with it. Thanks for watching!
