[QUOTE="Jake11, post: 390451, member: 14133"] nice boat! my last tinny was a 1436 alumacraft. loved it. nice thick hulls on them. as far as securing the angle to the ribs i would just use 3/16 pop rivets. i'm by no means an expert so take my advice as you will but anytime i'm securing anything that is above the water line or not going through the hull at all i just use pop rivets. easier IMO. I would say from those last two pictures that the "transom brace" is definitely more of a jack plate than a brace. from my experience with my acraft the transoms in them are tough as nails. mine was a 93 i think and had the original transom in it. the boat had NOT been well taken care of and that transom was still rock solid. i'm sure you've already picked this up from reading other posts but if you do go with screws to attach anything to the boat go with stainless and generous helping of 5200. i've had a couple of pretty nasty experiences with boats that had regular zinc/steel hardware used as fasteners on the hull. good luck and keep us updated.
