[QUOTE="EYDavis, post: 305374, member: 10661"] Finally some photos So I got out the drill and drilled out some rivets today...got rid of some old styrofoam, as well as the tops of the benches. Vermonster might be my hero as far as plans for the front casting deck/seat, but it looks like I'm in for a full transom job as well. I know I need to get at it with the sander/wire brush. Just for giggles, I filled it up today to the rivet line and my only leaks were at the back (must've been a new dent when moving the boat over a curb by hand), and around the plug. I marine JB welded those, so I think I'm good there. Could get interesting with this transom, though. it's had it. I'll find some plywood and spar the heck out of it, double stack, and trace. I may take the leftover bench aluminum and sandwich with it. I should have gotten some pictures, but this was definitely treated plywood somebody used to make this transom. About half of the aluminum screws were eaten away as if with white rust....some broke on removal. I'm worried about my back end, though. Check out the dent on my fingers. I hate to cop out and just try to "body fill" with epoxy the obvious dents, but I may just roll on. I don't know. Open to input. This thing doesn't have to be perfect, but it oughta be presentable, right? DNR not a big deal by the way. I've just gotta make a hull inspection and sign an affidavit with bill of sale in hand.
