[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 318742, member: 9169"] I agree with bigwave on how to treat your transom holes. I had some decent corrosion behind my old transom wood as well. Nothing quite as bad and the one hole you have though. I would drill that one out to as big as you are comfortable with and reinstall the proper size bolt with some large washers and a generous amount of 5200. Once the 5200 sets up hit it with some self etching primer and I bet you'll be good to go. As far as design changes go, I've more than been there. When I first got my boat I wanted to instantly have at it with the plan I had in mind. My buddy convinced me to wait until spring so we could use it to duck/goose hunt. Best idea yet. Being able to actually use the boat and spend alot of time on the water caused me to change my ideas numerous times and fine tune exactly what I want to do. Now I have no doubt as to what I want the end result to be. Just need to find the time to get it done!! [/QUOTE]
