I just bought a 1975 48 foot C/B Pleasure Cruiser.  The marine
surveyor noted some soft spots.  The one I am most worried about is in
the transom.  I have replaced a transom on a power vessel before.
That one was small enough to take out of the water on a trailer by
myself.  The 48 footer is expensive to haul out and expensive to pay
for while it is "on the hard".  I am thinking of drilling 1/4 inch
holes down from the top of the transom into the soft area then
pouriing the runny marine epoxy they use to permeate and repair dry
rot down the holes, allowing it to permeate and harden, then filling
the holes with an epoxy filling mix.  Anyone had any experience with
this?  Anyone got any suggestions?

Also looking at pictures of the boats last haul out I noticed that it
had a keel (one of those shorter rectangular shaped ones that you see
on some newer sail boats).  Any ideas what its there for, stability
etc ??

I look forward to hearing from you.  I would also like to get any
information. Pictures etc. of my vessel as I work on her to restore
her beauty...Thanks, rj
