[QUOTE="Dantheman, post: 424807, member: 10731"] I removed more of the old wood to get a better look at the transom. I feel like the prior owner ran the engine with a deteriorated transom that lead to the bend. My guess is he noticed the bend and had the corner braces added and welded the crack in the top cap. I'd like to repair this and know this isn't going to happen again. Below are some ideas I had. If anyone has tried something similar and it failed please let me know. I should not have a problem extending the wood an additional three inches to cover the bend. Hopefully bolting over the bend ill help straighten it out.
