I am replacing a wooden transom on a 1983 Storm Bass boat. The new transom will be made out of 24 lb density composite 1 1/2" thick, running full length of transom.

I've done 1 transom rebuild and if I have anything to do with it will NEVER do that again.
Your more of a man than I am, my friend!

Day 5 pictures
Transom all done
I was planning on putting the boat back together after replacing the transom, but it now seems to be a good time to do a refurbish on the boat. New paint on boat and trailer, new carpet, rewire and replace pumps.
I'll post more pictures as I go.
wow!!!! nice job!!! looks like Storm made those pretty easy to do compared to other boats that is!

looks good. is the razor a flip[copy] of a storm or an allison. i was looking at your web page and the lines of the hull on the razor look a lot like a storm.the cap dosent but the hull lines do look like a dead ringer, even the stance the boat has in the water is the same as a storm.
The Razor is the Micco hull that Burt Crowell build after he sold Storm to Steve Lake in 1990. The cap, deck and console is my design. I bought the Micco mold right after the Kornmeiers sold Storm to Brad in 2006. Being that I worked for Storm for 10 years, the Micco was a smart move on my part. Its like building the 20' Storm except it is 5" wider. I changed a few things about the hull. 2 of the changes are noticeable, the others are not. I rounded off the sponsons and raised the area of the transom, next to the motor, about 7 1/2" to stop the back wash from coming over the transom.
where did you get the material for the transom

Whatever happened to Burt ?? Last time I saw him was in the early to mid nineties or so.. We fished up on Kissimmee, and havent seen or heard from him since...
I've tried to locate him. Some people say he is in Ft. Meyers, others say the Kissimmee/Orlando area. I don't know, but I hope he is doing good!!!!! He knew about boats, no doubt about it!.
Bump....hey guys as I continue with my project when I see stuff like this I will bump it back up...maybe help others as well.
bump
bump again
