Nearing the time of sale of my beloved Haines I discovered the transom had water ingress and rot especially around the engine bolt holes and rear well drain holes due to a poor design. I replace the transom from the rear using marine plywood and variety of methods and tricks I researched and thought up myself.

This series features the semi restoration of a very cheap Haines Signature 530F in need of a lot of work. It aims to educate people on how to perform good quality, but very budget orientated repairs and modifications to all things mechanical especially boat building.
