Yep the transom was notched by some one before me to fit a 20 inch out board
I'm having it restored to full height roughly 23.5 inches. The media blast is two remove the two paint jobs that have been applied over the original gel.
I'm guessing the same fleet shop that did the transom hack did the paint jobs because they are of the fifty foot variety. Good from a far but far from good.
The plan is to respray the gel once I get the boat back and get it flipped over.
And when it's alfinished up put some epoxy barrier coat on the boat along with a heavy copper content bottom paint
