[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 314823, member: 6937"] Yeah, that's some pretty extensive corrosion damage. A lot of deep pitting, with some of it going all the way through. If the corrosion is only like this in the center, where they had the plywood, you might be able to just cut out and replace that part, or, if you're not comfortable with cutting it out completely, at the very least, fish-plate your new piece over the top of it. If you decide to cut out the old damaged section, to keep the existing transom from warping when you cut it apart, go to either side of the section you're going to remove, and attach some type of bracing, such as tack-welding some aluminum tubing, as vertical stringers. Once you cut out the old part, cut your new piece, large enough for a 2 inch overlap on both sides, and weld it in place. Then weld some cross members to it, tying it in to the bracing you previously welded in place on either side of the cut-out. [/QUOTE]
