[QUOTE="AZSunDevil, post: 437005, member: 22381"] After a longer than expected delay I got the boat home today. One question does anyone know what these metal pieces are? Trying to determine if should remove and replace with something else or if they serve a purpose. Also trying to determine what the jagged leftover metal strips were from. They're riveted in. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20170617_172435.jpg"]92903._xfImport[/ATTACH] Also took a couple other measurements. Nothing scientific but looks like transom is about 22", rib width toward back of boat (widest point?) is about 51". [ATTACH type="full" alt="20170617_172351.jpg"]92904._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20170617_172419.jpg"]92905._xfImport[/ATTACH] Rivet missing here not sure how hard it would be to replace. Never worked with rivets before. This looks like a large one too. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20170617_172445.jpg"]92906._xfImport[/ATTACH] This platform looks original. Also riveted in and the wood still feels decently solid but definitely needs replaced... I guess this would be for a gas can? Was this a "unique to starcraft" thing?
