[QUOTE="Alex_c, post: 277744, member: 9587"] So today resulted in some good forward progress. Got the transom cut and glued with Titebond III and laid down the first coat of spar urethane. Decide ugly patches on the outside of the boat for the hairline cracks will be just as, if not more effective than welding - at a fraction of the cost. The reason they are on the outside is because they are at the end of the ribs in the hull and could not be fully covered if the patch was laid on the inside. Hopefully the fish don't mind! :) The PO had used some kind of roofing tar to "seal" the untreated transom he had installed, so I wire wheeled it all off, cleaned with acetone and sanded. There was a bit of corrosion to the aluminum but nothing too savage. After that I sprayed two coats of primer to prepare for the new transom. 3 more coats of urethane to the wood and it will be ready to go in with some stainless hardware. Due to some bullshit labeling issues, you can't get Gluvit in Canada anymore, so I will have to take a trek south of the border to pick some up. Last picture is Salmon fishing on the Fraser River this weekend. Caught 2, 15-18 lb chinooks and about 7, 5-8 lb sockeye. Had to let the Sockeye go but the chinooks sure were a good fight! [/QUOTE]
