[QUOTE="cscottblack, post: 299832, member: 10742"] I’ll attempt to reply to a couple of posts at once. 1st “Stroyed” – I would suggest the same advice someone gave me when I first started checking out this website/forum; read as much/many of the projects and posts as you can. To answer your question about the removal of the transom, IF your boat is exactly or even very similar to my boat, you should be able to remove the transom by drilling out the rivets. You should not need to remove the corner brackets. I would suggest saving, as much as possible, the original transom to use as a template to fashion the new transom. Good luck, take pic’s and let us all see how things go. 2nd “Vermonster” – Thanks for the “heads up” about the pressure treated lumber. I had already considered this and have made plans to “insulate” the PT lumber from the aluminum with pieces of rubber I have from a coal belt. The rubber is about 3/8 ‘s inch thick industrial grade rubber with a cloth lining that binds the layers of rubber together. All pieces/parts have been connected with triple coated deck screws and fasteners, suitable for pressure treated lumber. Therefore no direct PT lumber and aluminum contact should occur. Thanks again for the advice! [/QUOTE]
