[QUOTE="WNCMapper, post: 496404, member: 25148"] Hello all, I'm pretty new to the forum, and boating in general. I've seen DaleH's thread on his rebuild, don't think mine is as bad, but here's my project: I got this 1994 Lowe (Big Jon) 14X48 stripped down to bare bones. I've got a welder lined up to build an aluminum transom, and do other patch work. Well I removed the orig. plywood transom yesterday and found all this corrosion on the stern of boat - see photos. The worst of corrosion is in the corners, and some of the pitting (small pits at this point, but I haven't chased all the white corrosion) goes nearly through. My gut is telling me I'm gonna need to have the stern skin replaced before installing new transom. Or am I being overly concerned? Will epoxy method work? Boat will be used in smaller rivers a lot - lotsa logs. This is a complete rebuild project. Any experience, estimated cost having stern replaced by welder, etc...? Thanks for your input![ATTACH type="full" alt="Stern_corrosion.JPG"]114026[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
