[QUOTE="bowman5, post: 68857, member: 1054"] I replaced the transom and hardware on it. The glue is a strong polyurethane glue I use for high-stress jobs, like when I'm bending wood. [img]https://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h188/bowman55/boats/newtransomandhardware.jpg[/img] A new bow-board in front.. [img]https://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h188/bowman55/boats/newbow-board.jpg[/img] and layers of 1/2" red oak for the new gunnels. I put thick beads of silicon caulk along the wood where it met the aluminium of the boat, and a polyurethane glue between the pieces of oak. [img]https://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h188/bowman55/boats/Ineedmoreclamps.jpg[/img] Then 3" carriage bolts every 8" to snug it all up. [img]https://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h188/bowman55/boats/leftsidedone.jpg[/img] The oak pulled the hull back into shape all on it's own. [img]https://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h188/bowman55/boats/nicearc.jpg[/img] Oak on both sides of the hull, inside and out, adds up to over 2" of solid wood. Alot of support and strength. [img]https://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h188/bowman55/boats/over2inchesofoak.jpg[/img] Here's the gunnels all done...mostly.
