Transom replacement 1977 landau

[Timcash]

Hello trying to replace the wood on my new "free" boat lol. Well long story short i broke the braces that go from the bottom of the boat to the transom wood. Any ideas on how to fabricate new ones???

Get it welded or have a new one made using the old one as a pattern.
A good welding shop like Adams in Mchenry can make them.

They look like crap aluminum. Was wondering if maybe i could just make my own new ones with angle aluminum

You might be able to.
How big a motor are you putting on the boat?

Im putting a 28hp motor and 30lb thrust troller on it. Just left the welding shop they are gonna try to weld them up for me.

With a bigger motor I say let a shop make them.
