[QUOTE="MrSimon, post: 298449, member: 5461"] I agree with the comments above .... get it welded. But I also agree that the existing transom is really really thin and it will be very hard to weld that without blowing it to pieces. I second the idea of cutting out a new piece (or two) of aluminum and attaching it to the existing transom. And to throw out one more thought .... it could cost a couple hundred bucks to buy some aluminum and supplies to reinforce your transom yourself .... or closer to 500 to have a fabrication shop do it for you. You could get a good condition used boat similar to your current boat for about the same price. Just something to think about. [/QUOTE]
