[QUOTE="Comstocker, post: 197395, member: 5633"] Well, I started disassembling the T-14SF and the built-ins came out nicely and the rotted floor wasn't too bad to remove.[ATTACH type="full" alt="Transom 005.jpg"]22971._xfImport[/ATTACH] The transom, however, is going to be a challenge. There was a couple deep dents from screwing the engine clamps down on the inside and a nice 25 or so degree bend outward on the outside of the transom where the bottom of the engine cradle hits. I cut the top rail off the transom and here's what I found[ATTACH type="full" alt="Transom 003.jpg"]22973._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="Transom 002.jpg"]22970._xfImport[/ATTACH] Problem is, without removing some of the structural rivets I don't know how I'm going to make the replacement wood go all the way to the outside edge like the original pieces. It is a double layer, you can see the rear layer pushing out the bottom here, but the layer to the front is behind the aluminum which has a 3/4" lip on the top edge.[ATTACH type="full" alt="Transom 004.jpg"]22972._xfImport[/ATTACH] Any good ideas?
