[QUOTE="Jon13245, post: 479296, member: 28500"] That makes sense, I think I'll put L brackets as I can drill the holes above the water line. I also read your post on the SS fasteners and will look into that. So when I drill out the 12 rivets that currently hold that bracket in place, would you recommend riveting them shut with closed end blind rivets or drilling 12 holes in the new transome wood and bolting through the holes? The only issue is the holes are very small so I'd have to drill them bigger to accomodate for bolts and I feel like that might be too many large holes. I'm also gonna have to drill a couple holes higher up and lower down to secure the wood properly so it's not just being held in the middle so I'm not sure if using the 12 holes for bolts is a good idea. If I were to rivet them shut the rivets would come out the other end a bit (inside the boat) and I'm worried that won't allow me to secure the wood snug against the aluminum so I might also have to drill a mm into the wood where all the rivet ends would poke through. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
