[QUOTE="Jdholmes, post: 226992, member: 6982"] Had an 'Oh Crap!' moment a little bit ago. I went down to start on stacking the wood for the transom...I lined up a piece for the fun of it and there it was..."Oh, crap!'... The wood is going to be just above the top of the drain hole...which is great...but it also means I can not get it into place without removing the transom brace that is riveted to the floor! I really do not relish putting a hole in the bottom of my boat, but I see no other option. So...once I drill that brace off, can I just replace it with stainless steal bolts and seal it with some 5200 or am I going to leak? Thanks in advance for advice! Oh and here are pics as promised!
