Part of his concern was the overall look of the trailer. The 13-inch tires will look better.

I run 12" radials on one of my trailers.

Upgrading tires is good idea. Are you doing radials? Your boat will sit higher you will have to back in deeper at the ramp. Where are you getting your prices?

Before you pull the old transom wood give the bow in the transom a few hits with a hammer.

Pull the transom wood see how bad it is. Clean up all of the corrosion. Make one big patch and stick it on with 3M5200 and rivets. Install new transom wood.

Using aluminum angle to get a flat surface doesn't sound bad.

I got ripped off my boat is 6 inches short.

Cut up a piece of 4x4 or build something from 2x4's into a custom carpeted bow stop. Maybe 3D print something. I use a carpeted 2x4.

Talk to a welder first.

Add a safety chain too.

Actually, you could move the bow stop bracket up the winch post.

I agree leave the bow stop where it is and move the winch where the pully is.

Don't forget to seal the wood.

Have a piece of aluminum formed to fit over the strake and have it welded. If you use any of the listed products to fix it and it doesn't hold up and you decide to get it welded it will be a pain in the *** to get the aluminum cleaned up to weld.

Don't forget to get the proper tongue weight. Around 10%.

My best guess is that when the transom wood is removed the aluminum under it will be like swiss cheese.

SYP X grade would be a good choice.

Looks like someone put pressure treated wood as the transom. Pull the old wood and see how bad the damage is.

What is on the inside of the boat where the patch? Is there any visible damage?
