[QUOTE="stinkfoot, post: 426431, member: 20555"] I replaced the transom on my 1989 16 foot Fisher Marine jet jon with 6061 Aluminum welded on by a buddy in the aircraft industry. Not sure if my boat is a different composition of alloy or its age or the fact it had been in saltwater was a factor but finding and welding up all those pinhole sized leaks was a real PITA. I finally just painted the whole bottom and transom with Coat-it which solved all my leakage problems! Hopefully if the transom does ever fall off I won't be underway at the time...... [/QUOTE]
