[QUOTE="Target, post: 427967, member: 21887"] So this is a 2001 Lowe roughneck. The transom is still in good shape (checked the wood through the motor mount holes) but I am thinking a few years down the road it will need replaced. I have done a transom on my other boat before and while it wasn't easy, it was doable. This boat is mostly welded with some rivets but as I look at how I would replace the transom it seems impossible!? I know there has to be SOME way to get it out but it looks like it would require me cutting either the corner braces or knee braces as well as ALL the welds that hold the rear boxes and flooring? That just seems like way too much and it makes me nervous to cut corner or knee brace. Can I just put a steel bar across the outside to act as reinforcement instead? Or would seacast be a better option? [/QUOTE]
