New guy from Detroit. Good to join y'all, here is what I'm working with. Can any one identify model/make? Any suggestions how to fix up the transom?

Thanks for joining! Nice looking boat! How is it the boat overall besides the Transom area? Solid and Tight?

If that was my boat the first two things I would do would be to.

1. remove all the wood from the inside and outside of the transom.
2. start searching ebay for "transom corner" and pick up a pair.

Once you have new corners you will be able to tie the sides to the transom better and you can then start fitting a piece of aluminum sheet to repair that damaged corner. I would plan on using steel-flex or gluv-it as well. That boat looks like it had a rough life.
