[QUOTE="Brine, post: 124317, member: 1053"] Try Metal Supermarkets in Norcross. They are at I-85 and Pleasantdale. Measure out the size of the piece you need and let them know. I'm interested to hear what they quote you for it. You could still put plywood on the inside to beef up the transom, but I agree the .25 on the back would look slick and serve a good mulit-purpose of covering the hole, looking good, and strengthening the transom all in one. You can also try Ryerson's. I believe they are in Lawrenceville. Another option is just to replace the wood on the outside and use aluminum epoxy on the hole inside and out. Not sure where the hole is in realtion to the waterline. If it's above the waterline, I'd use wood and epoxy and call it a day. And to answer your question, no, it wouldn't need to be welded on. Bolts and 5200 would do the job. [/QUOTE]
