I,m new to the boating world. I,m in the process of purchasing a 12ft jon boat dirt cheap. The problem with the boat is, two of the brace rails that run across the bottom of boat on the inside are broke in the middle of them. looks like someone tried jb weld to repair them without success. Can this be repaired without welding? I was thinking of running 1x3 along the width of these rails and 1x3 from front of boat torear of boat on both sides and the middle and lay 1/4 plywood on top and screw fast to the 1x3, then put outdoor carpet over plywood, Is this a good idea or am i asking for more troubles? The other 2 issues are, the middle seat the rivets are ribbed outta seat on left side and the transom wood is gone off the back. Can all this be repaired without costing me an arm and leg? Is it all worth the trouble?
