[QUOTE="Tinny Fleet, post: 444209, member: 22140"] 1) On the rubber transom pad, its seen its day too! I like these though, because they absorb vibration form the motor, and if it were me I'd consider getting a fresh one! 2) On the crack on top of the transom, that's actually not the transom itself but a cap on top of the transom. If it were me, I'd consider replacing it when you replace the transom wood. Interestingly you can get aluminum channel tubing in the right thickness on the web, and mebbe even at a big box hardware store near you. The beauty of the replacement part is it will be way stronger than the original. As I look at the BIA plate, that 12' boat is rated for up to a 20hp motor, which seems unusually large for a boat that size. Therefore, beefing up the transom with a sturdier cap would help the boat handle heavier motors! Good luck on your rebuild, you have a good'un there! [/QUOTE]
