[QUOTE="redrunner, post: 219022, member: 4849"] I did about what you are taking about last summer. I replaced the wood, made a new transom cover plate out of aluminum 1/8 thick sheet stock. Took another 1/8 sheet on the outside as well. Had pods made and welded to the outside plate. Had plug holes put in. Standard boat plug size. Then had it all welded to the boat. I raised the transom to handle a long shaft motor. I had the bracing from the sides to the transom replaced because the old transom was lower. Then the knee braces in the back were strengthened. I love the mod. Best thing I did to the old boat. I put on a fresh coat of paint when it was all done and you can't tell it was not factory done. [/QUOTE]
