I've got a 1972 Sunbeam fiberglass boat that the wood in the transom has gone bad. I have already removed the motor, lifted the top and removed the old wood transom. There are a couple of small holes to patch and then install the wood and re-glass it to the walls/floors. I will buy the materials and would be willing to bring the boat to someone within a reasonable distance from Randolph County Arkansas. Can provide images upon request. I can re-install the motor/cables/etc..

Just need the transom glassed back in & the top secured back down. Will pay cash and/or trade for tools/gear/etc... I've developed a crippling the disease (NSF) and cannot finish the fiberglass job myself.

thanks,

two fish

The old boat looks rough, but I've kept the interior dry and have never felt a soft spot in the flooring. But I realize glassing the trasom may be more than anyone would want to tackle by the over-all appearance. Let me ask this if I can, what are the specifics on types/brands of fiberglass resin/epoxy/cloth that someone could use if all other variables were solid? Are there various types of marine grade plywood? Is there a particular benefit to using epoxy versus the regular fiberglass resin?

thanks
