[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 238880, member: 7544"] Gave the boat a bath so I'm not getting filthy while I work on it. It cleaned up pretty good. Started the transom tear out and discovered I don't have a metal blade for my jig saw. Next I pulled the angle braces that join the ribs. These braces were put on with small sheet metal screw but some had vibrated out and others had the head about rusted off so they were tough to get out. Is there any reason that I shouldn't put them back on with rivets? Also did some measuring and planning on trailer mods. Doesn't sound like a lot of work but getting that heavy duty wrap they had on the transom off took some time. They had about a dozen rusted up bolts going through it and the thing was glued to the transom skin with silicone.
