The Final Install: Step-By-Step Rock Solid Transom | Project PoorCraft Part 6

The wait is over! Today we are finally bonding the transom into the hull of Project PoorCraft. This is the most critical part of the entire fiberglass boat restoration—where all that hard work from Part 5 pays off. In this 48-minute masterclass, I’m walking you through the entire structural install. We’re talking about the "peanut butter" (thickened resin) bond, the high-stakes drop-in, and the final structural tabbing that ties the transom back into the hull for good. If you want a boat that’s stronger than factory, this is how you do it. In this video, we cover: The Final Bond: Prepping the hull and the wood core for a permanent chemical bond. Thickened Resin Secrets: Mixing the perfect "peanut butter" consistency for a gap-free install. Clamping & Squish: How to ensure your transom is seated perfectly without starving the joint of resin. Structural Tabbing: The lamination schedule for tying the transom into the hull sides and bottom. The Result: A rock-solid foundation ready for the motor. If you missed the template and wood prep phase, go back and watch Project PoorCraft Part 5 first! This series is all about showing the "harsh truth" of DIY boat building and how to get pro results on a budget. Build it once. Build it right. Stay Tiny.
