Thanks for the reply.

I saw this same detail on a Tomahawk.

I will be replacing the transom assembly. It appears it had been replaced previously with plywood. I spotted a 12' Thompson with a unique trimmed transom and was wondering if this was fairly standard. I like it and was considering something like this.

Thanks Phill.

When I took the originals off there was a gap between the two pieces where it looked like it was once filled with something resembling pine tar. But most of it was gone. Probably why they failed. When I re-be...

Wow that is nothing like what I have.

Thanks a lot. It gives me a idea of what I am going to have to do.

Thanks again.

I appreciate the help. I will check out Phill's post.

Could someone tell me the overall thickness the original transom would have been?

Thanks

Karl

Thanks for the advice. There is a place close by that can find me the wood. I will plan on replacing when I get to it.
