[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 459026, member: 22613"] This is just my opinion (and it is not worth much without seeing the damage in person), but I would do as mentioned and make a new transom. That cut goes clear down the bottom, and you will struggle to get a patch to seal properly over all of those rivets and the curves around the edges. Looks like an appropriately sized sheet of .125 5052 would only run you a couple hundred bucks, could use the old one as a template and have the replacement plasma cut to shape. Then fold in the sides and bottom, and get to bucking rivets. It would be like new. I imagine you'd only have 500 bucks plus your time in it, which is probably less than what you'll be compensated for. [/QUOTE]
