[QUOTE="Buckethead, post: 306348, member: 9470"] Yea I thought of and considered that, there's a guy in the area that does that very thing, you take him your boat and in a couple days you've got a nifty new custom built transom. Given my financial limitations at this point my free oak board is looking better and better. It may be something I'll have to do at some point anyway, I was measuring this afternoon since I'm going to try to get the transom done tomorrow, and noticed a half dozen or so places where the aluminum is pitted pretty deep behind where the old transom was. It almost looks like treated plywood may have been used. I'm pretty sure it wasn't in 1974 but who knows. We're supposed to get more snow and sleet at some point over the weekend, looks like I'll be moving the wife's suburban out and putting the boat in its place. Should make some decent progress this weekend. [/QUOTE]
