The one that came out is measuring a tad less than 1 3/8. Measuring the gap on the boat between splashwell and transom, and the gap between corner supports and transom it varies between 1 1/4 and 1 3/4.the one corner is tight at 1 1/4. I was thinking it’d be 1 3/4 as well. Is less a common...

Thanks for the replies, still not out of the woods yet, still need to fab and install new transom wood and tig those castings. More questions on the way.

It’s out and rotten it is. Smells like its yellow pine plywood .

No the transom wood only goes down about half way. The back bench is so close to the transome it’s hard to get a picture . Making progress with a cut off wheel, managed to get the first cast corner loose without cracking it.

No chance. Those transom corners are covering the top and also are welded to the entire transom cap as well as the side rails of the boat

One of my first thoughts as well. The issue with that is I’d have to remove a bunch of solid rivets. T Four that go through the bottom. I have zero tools and experience to reinstall those .Clearance wise I think it would be close.

Nothing? Have never done this before, no potential pitfalls to look out for? Guess I’ll be breaking out the grinder and go to town.

Transom has a couple soft spots. It is small and pretty easy fix. To get the cap off. the aluminum corners are welded to the gunwale. I’m assuming it’s a matter of grinding off the welds and welding things back in place once transom is complete. Any helpful advise appreciated.

Then why answer them a second time if it bothers you that much? Is it so you can post up complaints and belittle people? Is there a rule that limits the amount of times a question can be asked? Or is there a number that fits your own personal standard? Sorry for all the “ questions” Curious...

I understand the intention of this thread. After reading it a lot of guys might not post at all. 🤣You need to understand a lot of these guys are desperate and need a fix ASAP. A lot of them are brand new to boating and for all they know the problem they are having is unique, so they post it up...

Speck, glad to hear all is well. Still in southeast Pa. Still got a couple tin boats. Hit a couple bumps in the road along the way, but surviving. Retired now so lots of time to hunt and fish ! I googled for some boat info and it brought me here so I figured I’d stop in and check things out. I...
