[QUOTE="Brine, post: 281626, member: 1053"] Great story, and congrats on the rig. =D> Be cautious using steel in the boat. Aluminum and Steel don't play nice together and you're likely to have some corrosion at the top of the transom and knee brace, and possibly on the outside of the hull where your hardware is. It looks like in one picture you replaced the plywood at the transom, but not sure if that blue piece went on afterwards. I suspect that the bolts going through the hull, plywood, and steel will act like a conduit for the problem to spread. If nothing else, it may save you some aggrivation down the road after you've painted the boat. If I'm not interpreting you pictures correctly, forget what I said. :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
