[QUOTE="Axhammer, post: 514005, member: 16767"] The boat hull sheet metal relies on structural components (ribs & stringers) to maintain its shape. In your case the wood transom was the structure that helped the sheet metal maintain its shape. You removed the wood, now the thin sheet metal can bow or flex out of shape. When you install your new new transom, the sheet metal will take the shape of the new structure (transom). If your new transom is perfectly straight and flat, the sheet metal will be perfectly straight and flat after you have attached the transom to the sheet metal. That slight bow in the transom sheet metal will straighten out with the transom installed. I don’t see an issue with it. [/QUOTE]
