[QUOTE="Y_J, post: 368026, member: 14258"] Right on, Bill.. Yep I been working on it. Was getting ready to post a little update when I saw your post. I tried brazing the splits but a couple of them don't want to cooperate. I got real close to buying a welder but I just couldn't justify the cost vs the usage. Primarily because I found that a couple patches that were put on the sides before me, were steel and not aluminum and I couldn't get it hot enough to braze them with aluminum low temp rod. On one of the splits I've decided to make a heavy gauge aluminum strip and bolt it on the inside to hold the two sides of the split even, then add brazing rod to that. That part of the inside will be pretty much hidden buy the storage deck up at the bow anyway. Aside from that, I finished making the Transom wood parts, both inside and outside, yesterday and got a couple coats of Spar Urethane on them today. Gonna add a third heavier coat tomorrow. Photos coming tomorrow.. [/QUOTE]
