I was thinking rear facing but side might be the ticket.

This is what it looks like inside as you can see the stringer is not completely to the top

Thanks.

More work has happened since the last post. They started ripping out the transom today.

[Kwaugh5p]

A days worth of grinding

[Kwaugh5p]

Well it has been a bit slow but finally some more progress the transom is sealed up and awaiting the new core

[Kwaugh5p]

Starting to move along. 3 layers of glass tabbed in on the transom and rear vents filled in

Make sure you grind the edge on the outside of the vents and glass. If you don't they will separate at the edge on the outside and fracture thru the paint. Ask me how I know..... Both outside and inside require glassing.

[Kwaugh5p]

They still have all the outside glass work to do on the vents. They made sure all the tabbing on the inside completely covered the vent hole. I do appreciate your comments Moose it is always better not to reinvente the wheel so to speak

Some more progress on the old girl. Transom has been recored with a 1 1/2 inch composite but before the composite was installed they layered the transom to 1/2 inch thick glass and finished it off with 4 more layers. The scupper drains are filled in as well as the old live well pick ups. The vent area was ground and glasses from the outside as well. Next steps are to build the stringers back to the transom and build the pocket for the through hull transducer than the floor.
