I recently bought an '84 Grumman 1448 with an Evinrude 25HP outboard. The boat's in excellent condition, except the transom. The transom hull is double walled aluminum with a wood board sandwiched in between. The wood can only be felt at the lower inside corners, and I can tell it is rotten. There is no way to get to this board to replace it without cutting the aluminum away. I don't want to damage the transom strength and don't want to pay someone to heliarc it back together. I'm thinking of adding an aluminum plate, maybe 1/2" thick, to the inside of the transom and through bolting it. Any ideas?
