Yeah, it?s ugly?
I?d make some comment about a transom rotting out in 10 years except the same thing happened to the GT that I rebuilt so there you have it.
The stringer seems solid up towards the front, so we?ll see tomorrow when I peel the cap off it. And there?s a lot of grinding to do transom still has most of the mud plate on it. That hast to go. It?s all fractured.

With the help of the masked man we got about half the grinding done hard to tell from that picture, but the mud plate was almost a half inch thick at the bottom . The tabbing for the floor and the kick board still need to get ground out.

I had a little bit of epoxy left over from the V249, I figure it isn?t going to be a problem with the poly resin because it?s all internal and nothing needs to bond to it. Three layers of half-inch composite with Biax in between.

I wanted to do something about bilge bowl .. but didn't know what to do ..
I filled the bilge to raise the floor to the hole and installed a sealed Garboard style fitting vs the thin brass tube.
Seems to be a common water migration problem.

The repairs to the cracks in the hull that Jim did, did not fail. there was no leaking there. I did grind part of them out and put another sheet of biax over the top just to be safe.

Well, the top is fitted, I didn?t exactly fall right on, but we got it. The front is screwed in hopefully tomorrow I?ll be able to lift the back up and glue the splash well to the transom.

@thedeuceman Joe, where are you getting the composite material for the transom and the pour material for the stringer in gregg's cv16?The material I use to pour the stringer for this project and I used it on the stringer and transom on the GT150 is arjay 6011, I bought it from true Composits. The composite material I used for the transom, which is also what I used exclusively on the CV 16 V8, came from space-age technologies, they used to have a program where you could get seconds for $50 a sheet.

Do you have any photos of where the transom failed so I can be on the lookout? Its a sharp looking boat, hope to see it out at the meet next year!
Post by: Hyperacme on November 28, 2023, 01:15:45 PM
Floor rot under splash well was because drain holes were a few inches above lowest point of hull bottom, water pooled then splashed up on bottom of unsealed wood floor.
Transom failed (both times) because of unsealed wood and old caulk failing.

The whole area under splash well was painted with a dark gray paint.
There wasn't any seal where the deck and hull came together at stern. Picture #1
Water got in between the hull and transom wood on the left side of the original transom and totally rotted wood.
I removed wood with my fingers in that area. You can see where stern flairs out in picture #2
The foam boxes where both dry.
Holes drilled and caulk used for speedo pick up and pilot tube had failed or replaced and not bedded right and let water in.
Water soak down and over to drain hole. Picture #3 & #4
Original motor was a Merc with old style mounts, dealer that mounted new motor just left old mounting bolts in holes and never sealed them ...
They were loose and rattling around ... Picture #5
Never .. Ever .. use wood in boat repairs ... LOL
Post by: bayrife on December 01, 2023, 04:10:37 PM
@Hyperacme interesting that the cracks only seem to be on 1976s. I did have some water drops leaking in the back transom area late this season and I thought it was leaking through the splashwell. After further hose testing it was leaking through the chrome trim piece that covers the deck/hull transom joint. So like you said, there isn't a seal back there on that joint so I put a layer of caulk over it and it sealed it all up. I also re sealed my spedo tube holes for good measure since I had the caulk out.
When the times comes that I need to redo the transom I will most definitely investigate an composite solution but hopefully thats down the road.
Post by: Hyperacme on December 01, 2023, 05:51:08 PM
After drilling holes for motor, stern U bolt thingys and splash well drain I mixed up some resin and with a small brush, coated inside of each hole with resin to seal wood.
Guessing that water got between fiberglass splash well and wood and soaked in.
Must have missed something on stringer also ..
Live and learn ..

The rise above, the stern trim is more vertical on the V8, then it is on the outboard and note that those couplers connect to the top instead of the back.
I do kind of assume it was made to fit. But It looks pretty nice.

So what was the final assessment of "transom failure", was there a visible crack? Was the boat taking on water?
Or was it just replaced as a preventative measure?
Looking forward to spring!
