[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 491042, member: 21536"] I don't have any special knowledge, but I do have some thoughts: Transom wood replacement: I figure the guys who built the boat knew what they were doing. So,would keep it the same size. Rivets on the transom: From the picture it looks like they had a plate of some sort on the outside of the transom. I don't know if that would be original or an add-on. I'm guessing that is what those rivets were for. I would remove them only if needed, or even better replace with something that doesn't stick out that far. Or, put another plate on. The holes would need to be filled for any removed. Floor: I like the idea of fastening it down if for no other reason it doesn't blow out when you are towing it down the road. Keeping it simple with some angle works. Wouldn't take much to make it secure. Makes it easy to remove too, if you ever have to. Outboard size: Can't help with that. Better minds than mine will hopefully fill in the blanks. Congrats on the new boat and welcome to TinBoat.net. [/QUOTE]
