1978 MA rebuild.

A few lessons I learned.
Do the transom from the inside. I did mine from the outside and ended up cutting the splashwell out any ways to work and on the inside of the transom. Double work.
Keep the cap shape correct. It's not flat from bow to stern.
Keep the cap off until the floor is done. You cannot get the floor in in 1 piece with the cap on. So my floor has too many seams.
My transom is 20" to fit my 20" leg Suzuki. Gonna be a bay/ kingfish off bean point boat.

I used arjay pourable ceramic transom material.

If you transom is shot like mine make sure you flatten the outer skin if you are going to re use it. Mine still has a little curve from where the engine was torqued on the squishy old transom . Jorgeinmiami has a really good thread that is master angler specific as well. Vezo 2 has had a master angler for like 20 years so he can answer questions about how the boat is to live with.
