Hit me up on the trailer when you get ready. I have some refurbshed ones at the shop.

To correctly do it, you would need to remove the inner fiberglass and recover the new wood and replace the stringers (the braces going from the transom to the front of the boat). You can replace the wood and if the stringers are rotten, it will not have the support needed and will cause the new wood to rot from the stringers being wet. </p>

Rot Doctor.COM....I was a little skeptical, but did several with the system and seems to work just fine...I did laminate in a 8 ga. stainless sheet and added additional gussets for high horsepower application....Recently saw a boat I did SEVERAL years ago with this system (w/ a 225hp engine) and it still looked good!
