i made a blank from cardbord made it fit, then layed it on the ply drew around it and cut it out.

when fixing it in i had to trim it down to fit but i ened up wit a snug fit

[captin slows old outlaw]

ther was plenty of old wet foam and body shell to get rid off

[captin slows old outlaw]

this is what remaied fron removing the weet woodstill had to rub it down and clean the airea.also had to smouth  nthe iner transom face

[captin slows old outlaw]

the courners on the tansom wer cut down as well as the the new size well

[captin slows old outlaw]

before cutting out i had wedged the sides of the boat to the uprights of the trailer so the hull  did  not go out of shape,

whilst working on the transom i put a strap aarond the hull till i had compled the stern
