[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 348612, member: 1931"] Welcome. Personally if the live well gets too hot for fish, it may not work for a cooler either. That being said, why not add a layer or two of insulation with a skin of aluminum. This will keep it from getting too warm and then could double as a cooler. Just a thought. As for the transom. It looks pretty stout. How is the original transom? Is the wood rotted? If not I'd say your probably OK. Sometimes people recognize a problem with a rotted transom, buy don't know how to fix it. I've seen many done like that. The bow stop can be changed to a board as stated above. As far as using an air hammer for rivets, I'm not sure. I do know you don't need any sealant on them. [/QUOTE]
