[QUOTE="floridabrahmer, post: 396693, member: 18878"] I went ahead and ditched the original transom. It was thin, floppy, contaminated and corroded, wasn't worth messing with. I fabbed up a new piece of 1/8" sheet and got it welded in. Now im working on some framing for inside the transom to beef it up, Not going to put any wood back in it. I need to float the hull to check for leaks and decide what to do to the bottom since its riveted before it gets to heavy to flip over. I could weld all of them, but it would take a while, :shock: I think Im going to start building a surface drive mud motor to power it. Any one on here built one before? Ive glanced around online but see no surefire way to build one. I guess Ill have to figure it out as I go. [/QUOTE]
