[QUOTE="mirrocraft16, post: 514798, member: 34654"] Personally I'd leave it where it is, find something better but if you must, pits can be filled with JB Weld. Grumman, Lowe, and Sea Nymph all had issues with rotted transoms over the years. Mainly in the later 80's and the 90's models. They used pressure treated plywood and it ate the aluminum pretty bad. I had an '88 16ft that was pretty badly rotted, a 1988 Sea Nymph aluminum bass boat that was rotted to the point it needed metal replaced on both upper corners of the transom and it had a butt load of holes all around the sides where the floor met the hull. I patched it, got it seaworthy and sold it. It wasn't worth putting any more of my time into. I'd also find at least a 12ft boat, the 10ft is likely only rated to hold two small kids at best. Its an accident waiting to happen. I had that same boat in 12ft and with just me in it I didn't feel it was safe with the weight of me, trolling motor and battery. I can't imagine the 10ft being anywhere close to enough boat for a grown man and two kids, plus any sort of gear or motor. [/QUOTE]
