[QUOTE="craiger9er, post: 214464, member: 6305"] Hey everyone, I just got a 12 foot aluminum boat (for free) and need help starting out with it. I need a transom, as there's nothing on the back as you can see. I posted a few picks and will try to keep everyone posted as I get more work done and probably will ask a lot of questions. Where do I start with the transom? Marine plywood is what I've read but other than that I have no idea where to start. I'll probably just put a 30lb trolling motor on it for now also. Would it be ok to just plug the holes where the transom was and use it as is until I get an outboard? The boat has a few leaks, that I've found so far, by the front. I'm going to try to rebuck the rivets and go from there. Pictures attached below. Thanks in advance for all the help.
