[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 479284, member: 15636"] Simple really ... cut out that 'shelf', trim to width and lower a good 8" or more (I'd keep the rivet holes above the static waterline). Add in new wood, perhaps even adding in a wooden (encapsulated in epoxy) or tin 'knee' to support the transom and move the thrust stress to the entire hull. Here are some links to recent transom replacements I've done, as maybe the pictures will help you think things through, plan and execute: https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=36465 Shows the step-by-step process for an epoxy-encapsulated wood transom https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=47405 Similar, but lots of pictures https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=43039&p=434035 See the 'knee' support in the center of the photo [/QUOTE]
