[QUOTE="deerslayer, post: 105851, member: 702"] I have a 1754 polarkraft with similiar structural problems, few leaks ect. I found a guy who does a ton of boat repairs and he hooked me up. He ran me aluminum square stock gussets on each side of the floor rails, supports connecting the centers of the floor rails all the way up through the middle of the boat and put me in four, two on each side, side supports that connect the top of the side rail to the new floor gussests. Boat is solid as a rock now, no flex, nothing! I am also going to have him put in a new transome in the spring with two new transome supports made out of the same square stock material. The boats PO beat it pretty good, and trailered the boat with the motor up at full tilt at all times. Once the transome is done I am gonna add a full, one piece aluminum floor and raptor line the inside of the boat.....Just a thought you might want to do something similiar witht he floor gussets and the rail supports. It really ties the boat together. I noticed a huge difference the first time I took mine out after the repairs! [/QUOTE]
