Paul:
When not working on the Commander during the weekend, I spend my evenings restoring an old Wellcraft. The transom of this 19' 6" runabout has a large circle cut out to fit a particular outdrive. I want to fit a Merc outdrive to it that has a different cut out pattern much smaller. The transome appears to be two 3/4" sheets thick plus the glassing. I am thinking about cutting out two elongated diamond shaped pieces that oppose each other, epoxy and glassing them in, and then recutting the merc pattern out. What do you think? Whats the correct way?
