[QUOTE="Spoondragger, post: 435069, member: 22022"] So I've cleaned and prepped the pitting as best I can. I then used JB Weld and filled all the pits. Those that had pin holes leaked out a bit but they are sealed. Now onto the transom replacement. I'm considering a couple avenues. My transom is 1.450 as best I can tell. One is to buy two sheets of 3/4 ply (I found some ACX fir for $50 a sheet) and wood glue together, then seal with Old Timers. Second option is one sheet of 3/4" and one sheet of 1/2" glassed with 2oz mat between and sealed (either with more resin or OTF). This would leave me about an 1/8" thin. I'd fill that space with a .125 aluminum skin inside the rear transom metal. I would use 5200 and clamp in until cured prior to inserting the transom board. I feel this would be insurance against additional corrosion and/or water intrusion. I'm leaning toward number two, which would be significantly more work. This boat will hang a 120 and a 9.9 kicker. Is this overkill? I will probably own the boat another 5-10 years. It's out maybe 25 trips a year and stored indoors. The 20 plus year old transom appeared to be original. [/QUOTE]
