[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 424638, member: 13599"] no, not my boat - a member here did a thread on his mod a few years back. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=18553 use the "search" button - "transom"...... many good reads there. and on the topic of "search" check your phone book yellow pages (or Google) for METALS or METAL SUPPLY in your area. also, check your local recycle company and see if they sell aluminum to the public. and if that doesn't pan out for you, there are several online metal suppliers that ship their products...... if you only need small amounts, try the Big Box Stores. Farm Supply and Tractor Supply in my area are good. this is my boat - '59 14ft Crestliner. The other one is a '59 14ft Lone Star. both are in the process of being stripped and repainted with new wood furniture. my transom board is two sheets of 3/4" thick lateral stranded fiberglass panels with a 1/2" support board on the outside of the transom that has 1/8" aluminum plate bonded to it for the motor mount. the 25 Johnson is sold and I have a new 1958 Johnson Super Sea Horse 35hp to go on it. They are not fishing boats. They are strictly pleasure runabouts for cruising the waterways. [/QUOTE]
