[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 462801, member: 15636"] [b]First - Just to be clear ...[/b] I do not believe that the damage was caused by PT treated wood, but rather from UNprotected or coated wood that was allowed to get wet, especially if exposed to saltwater. Hulls of that vintage typically used non-treated or coated woods. That looks to be largely a bolt-together transom, making it easy. I’d still follow what I advised, plus referring to that Sea Nymph transom re-do where I used a few of the existing transom hole locations w/ ‘greased’ SS bolts to hold it all together as it cured. With so many bolts, buy your SS hardware in bulk and bed/seal well with BoatLife Life Caulk (my preferred choice) or 3M 5200. Don’t OVER-tighten them else you squeeze out all the goop making the seal ... [/QUOTE]
