[QUOTE="Weldorthemagnificent, post: 471217, member: 22139"] I would weld that, but that is what I do. One caution is that the heat could possibly cause a leak at the transom. I wouldn't try to weld the keel to the hull just the bits back together. It looks as though this boat may have been trailered with a motor bouncing. Make sure the bunk boards extend past the transom when on the trailer and support the motor with either a transom saver or ratchet strap it forward to keep it from bouncing. If you don't eliminate the flexing, it will just break again. Cool old boat. Sent from my CLT-L04 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
