[QUOTE="Travm70, post: 436805, member: 22465"] Today I took the the boat to a machine shop that I called about 20 mins away... I told them what I wanted and of course the guy said he'd have to see it. So I loaded it up and took it up there. The old guy said he didn't think my plan was the best way to go about it. My plan.... cut the corner brackets and top of the transom cap off so that I could slide in a new Transom board and then weld everything back together...as someone here had previously advised. His idea... cut a whole in the side of the boat where the Transom board would go... slide the new board in and then weld a patch over the hole. Guess I need to find another machine shop.... unless I want to go the patch on the side option. More than one way to skin a cat... [/QUOTE]
