Kyle,

Just for clarification. Your non-skid is not on the deck between the transom and rear beam? If this is the case then my previous comment is not accurate. I am suggesting that you cut the access in the deck between the rear beam and transom.

I personally would remove the access ports. They do not provide any structural strength to an area that can be heavily loaded.

Take a look at Kevin's Keller's post about refurbishing his SC20, it has several pics including some of his transom repair. The thread is located here: viewtopic.php?t=328

matt,
no, my non-skid is only between the front and rear beams. really there is no need for it behind the rear beam because the rudder arms come almost up to the beam.

i have looked at kevin's project before. he did an excellent job! i wasnt sure how much i could cut into my hulls without compromising the structure. his is much larger than mine and has more room to cut.

thank you again for all your help, you guys have been very informative!
