Hello--

I've got a west marine inflatable dinghy (model sb285, built by zodiac,
about 9 ft long) with a rotten transom. The plywood transom is attached
to rubber moldings on either side and these are bonded to the tubes. Has
anyone ever replaced the transom on a boat like this? It looks like
best way would be to unglue the rubber boots from the hull tubes and
replace the whole thing as a unit. Any advice appreciated!!

Thanks--Jack Rogers
