[QUOTE="FishinsMyLife, post: 219530, member: 95"] The farther I get into this "project," the more I have to make up for the previous owner's mistakes. Treated transom wood. I'm probably just going to wire wheel all the metal, paint it, and put the transom in. There are a couple bad spots where the bolts went through, but I'm going to deal with it for now. It won't be any trouble to take the transom back out and get a sheet welded on once the transom is secured with non-corroded hardware, and bolts as opposed to rivets.

All the corners but one (3/4) where it attaches to the transom are snapped off, so I'm going to need a new one. The previous owner already had them welded back on once it looks like. Over-tightening it into rotten wood is the culprit. If anyone knows where I can buy one, or if you can fab one up for me, let me know. [/QUOTE]
