[QUOTE="Windman7, post: 298494, member: 7996"] Thanks for the thoughts. Really good input. I measured the hull today with calipers and it is .063". Not very thick for welding. The large holes actually have an aluminum brace that goes over them - see the picture. Since they are above the water line, I'm thinking I will put a patch on the backsides, JB Weld them, and then grind them smooth. I'm guessing someone put PT wood on the transom at one time and that caused the pitting. Any reflections on these ideas? Would glassing the inside be better than an aluminum patch? [/QUOTE]
