Hey SeaCrafters! I'm in the midst of replacing the transom of my '74 20ftcc. I've cut out the rot and preped the remaining glass to accept the 2 pieces of 3/4" marine ply I'll be laminating with West System 205&105. My Questions: 1. Do I fill all gaps between hull interior and ply with epoxy with or with out filler & fibers? 2. Should I stretch the fiber sheet over and around the outside of the hull? 3. if so, how far over the exterior? 4. How much should I flare out the seam between hull and transom, will that effect how the boat planes? Any thoughts?
