Well I am new to the site and the boating world, Been looking for a jon for almost 2 years now. Went and found one to day I really liked, Its a rhyan craft 14 footer. I studied the boat over like a noob and bought it. I really like how the floor is versus other jons I have looked at and I thought the price was good. So got it home and ripped into it eager to mod like so many of you, I pulled the deck up and found lots and lots of transon rot. I know it has to be fixed I got started on it and I have a few questions I am hoping you guys can help me with. How does one install a new transom in one of these boats without cutting it all apart. Is it even possible? I notice the gussets on the top of the corner are stright up in the way, Do these need to be cut out and re welded? And what is the best material to rebuild the transom out of and where to get it. And does it have to be one piece? By the way its a 84 model if that helps any.
