Great stuff bud! I was not expecting a personalized video shot only a few hours hours after commenting on a 2yr old video! Crazy awesome. Glad to hear it worked out well, and I really appreciate the advice on using polyester materials with the Arjay.. My Edinboro is believed to be a '61 as well.
not sure, but transoms on most boats are the full width and height of the stern. the hull styles changed a lot in those 5 years. your best bet is to hit the classic boat forums to ask around.
It doesn't look like the arjay has separated. But it's a small transom and there are several bolts through, including the engine mounts, that are holding the skins tight to the core. I used some flexible, self-leveling caulk as a quick fix for the cracks. I've got two kids now since the original video was made and lack the time to get after it with more fiberglass. Seems to have worked well. If you do this, just get some polyester epoxy for coating the skins and you shouldn't run into any problems. The industry is trending towards more use of polyester anyhow.
it's just marine plywood coated in a few layers of epoxy and white poly paint (same kind they use in shipyards). there are some supports for the middle that are cut from cedar 2x4s that match the rise of the center aluminum support.

I've had a hard time finding any updates on these pourable transoms. Really appreciate you taking the time
I have a 1965 MFG Westfield, looking to do the transom pour Does the transom go all the way down on the Westfield?

did you ever fix those cracks? was the arjay separated from the glass?
