    Not sure yet, Between the 2 layers of old 3/4 inch plywood, there is what seems to be like 1/8 inch thick of glass. If I can get that out clean, I will use that. If not, I will make a carboard template, transfer that to a piece of 1/4" regular plywood that is cut slightly oversize, then trim the template to fit. Then transfer that template to the 1/2" marine ply.

    I cut some 2x4's down into strips and used that to use as a template. One reason is it was more sturdy than cardboard. The other, was that then my template was as thick as what my transom was going to be with two sheets of 3/4" ply.

    I guess that would work, how did you secure them to each other, I'm not picturing it??? The cardboard is just to get me started. That will then be transferred to a sheet of 1/4" ply, cut slightly oversize, and custom fit, and the ply will be used as the template. I'll be out digging at it this weekend, watch for more pics sunday

    Don't waste your time with the cardboard & the 1/4" plywood. Here's a little trick I learned in Nam. Go buy yourself a sheet(or two) of doorskin at Homo Depot. Rip it into 2" wide strips on a table saw, lengthwise. Using a hot glue gun, lay the strips up against your hullsides, inside transom bottom, etc., and glue them together as you go. Just break the strips over your knee, to the approximate length of each section you need. This method gives you an accurate, and fast template, to trace onto your two sheets of 3/4" ply. What bedding compound, into the transom, will you be going with?

    Screws and a staple gun. The main pieces I ripped into about 3/4" wide. Then some 3/8" wide strips to use in the corners for holding things together. I still have it, I'll take a pic of it today.

    OneBadInjun's idea is pretty good, I'd just be worried I would smack it on the hull-side dragging it out and have to start all over...

    Got all of the cuts made, now I need to go inside, and split where the deck is bonded to the hull.

    WOW, I know how that feels to be at that stage... Its looking good.
    As for templates, I did arts & craft time. Some poster board, Strips of card board, and a hot glug gun.. It worked great. I started with the wood strips but quickly jumped over to the poster board..

    Yup,

    probably getting stringers too, I was planning on putting knees in anyway, so I'll just replace the stringers up to the fuel tank area, its just wood, glass and time

    Got busy today, and got the wood out, counted 48 holes that were doweled up from previous owners efforts Also, the first layer of wood(closest to the outside) was seamed at an angle, not sure if this was original, or someone elses attempt at a transom(although I did one years ago like that on a 15 foot checkmate, and was told thats the way to do it from the outside), but with this much work, why would you want to cheap out on the wood

    you gotta let me know if you are going to peanut island again. The boat I work on is docked in front of the owners house on PGA, so I am only 5 min away by water. I could bring the party barge. it is ugly as sin, but it can hold a lot of beer and people. http://www.hbiboats.com/35photo_gallery.html

    Congratulations Rik!! You have one helluva a mess on your hands...
    I feel your pain Bro, can't wait to see the progress pics of her coming back together. One thing you have going for you is that these boats don't die. Ever. They just need some sprucing up now and again.
    Keep us posted!
