[QUOTE="Dantheman, post: 424778, member: 10731"] Thank you for your responses. I don't mind taking the time to do this right. I do want to keep the costs reasonable. This boat does have some sentimental value, but if it's cheaper to find another than repair I would prefer to go that route. This would still make someone a great pond boat. I'd like to run something in the 9.9 to 15 for the engine. I'm open on that end. The mystery rivet goes to a piece of wood that was added. You can also see the bend in this pic. The bend runs along the Z plate. The crack in the top of the transom also goes behind the wood about an inch. [url=https://s259.photobucket.com/user/dpd439/media/CDE58B06-FA38-4C65-9F3E-F6FE9B001DF8_zpsyhgknu8m.jpg.html][img]https://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh297/dpd439/CDE58B06-FA38-4C65-9F3E-F6FE9B001DF8_zpsyhgknu8m.jpg[/img][/url] Does wood have to be used? It seems like 1/2" aluminum plate would be much stronger and never rot. Would this be a bad option? [/QUOTE]
