HydroStream Restoration Transom Installation Pt. 10

Finally finished the transom! It was a lot of work but worth it in the end! The bottom pieces ended up being a piece of 3/4" and 1/2" laminated together to make it all one piece. I use a Ziploc bag with the corner cut to fillet the voids and end up babysitting that for one metric eternity and doing it several times before I get it all ready for laminating. Also I did end up grinding out the small part of tabbing that appeared to have air in it because I couldn't stop thinking about it hah.
