Hi there,
Ok, here's the story. I just bought an 89 Alumicraft boat. And I now have come to the realization that I will have to replace the transom. I have done a lot of searching on the subject, but I have not seen any repairs that were on an aluminum hull with a boat that has the rear deck fishing platform. From what I can tell, I will have to remove the top deck along the gunnel. Then, if Im lucky I can remove the transom out from top, after the engine and all hardware is removed. Worst case scenario, I have to completely dismatel the entire back end of the boat. What Im wondering is if anyone has some experiences in replacing a transom on this type of boat. And they can give me some advice on how best to approach it. Im not afraid to do this kind of job, but I prefer to know how best to tackle it before I start.
I attached a brochure showing the type of boat. I can post real pics tommorrow.
I have uploaded some pics. It looks like the wood core does not go all the way to the bottom.
Thanks
