[QUOTE="freeisforme, post: 506635, member: 34644"] Seacast or similar isn't ideal for an open transom like that. Its best used for enclosed cavities were it's easier to contain during the pour. The way I see it is that the wood in there has lasted all these years, and if you put back wood with any sort of protection, it'll likely out last you or the rest of the boat. The amount of labor to set up to do Seacast pour, vs just putting wood back in there, even if it means replacing a 500 or so rivets, is far more work, and far greater expense in the end. Seacast works great on glass boats that would otherwise needed to be evasively gutted or structurally cut apart to repair otherwise, or boats with the wood more exposed to the elements or constant bilge water. Its not really a sensible option on aluminum. It also may or may not be tested for contact with all aluminum alloys for corrosion either. [/QUOTE]
