[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 101993, member: 1931"] Well here goes.... I got this boat used with the back end full of holes. So I sanded the back end inside and fiberglassed the back to cover the holes and riveted the glass in. I went on the outside and used an epoxy (similar to JB weld) and covered the holes. I took a rib from another boat and used it to make a brace for my deck and welded it in. I used aluminum square tubing for the front supports and cut my wood to fit. I made a new transom for the boat, and [b]IF[/b] it ever goes bad I will pour a solid transom. (I've done several now and they work great...but do add some weight) Here it is with the rib/deck support in [img]https://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh155/huntinfoold/Boat5.jpg[/img] Here it is with the deck wood on it [img]https://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh155/huntinfoold/Boat7.jpg[/img] And here is a view of the back. You can see how I mounted my fuse panel and the transom [img]https://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh155/huntinfoold/Boat6.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
