[QUOTE="sixgun86, post: 238369, member: 5345"] Are you referring to the top cap on the transom wall? No miracle goo will fix that.. Best bet is to take it to a local aluminum welder and have them weld on an L beam atop after you have replaced the wood. Shouldn't be costly. When you put a motor on the boat it will flex and break loose anything else. If you use enough wood it might not be an issue... Might even have to remove that cap to get wood installed. Might be able to weld it together then if not too thin? This also hinges on what size motor you could put on the back. I'd say a 15hp would be perfect once you have a sturdy transom. 20+ would be too big, 5hp would be too small IMO. 3m 5200 Marine sealant is top choice to help with leaking rivets once they have been tightened. Also Glov-it or steel flex are popular coatings for the bottom to prevent leaks. JB weld won't help you on this build. If you search leak,rivet,transom, etc.. you will find posts from members builds that will help guide you. A lot of guys are using farm equipment implement paint for their boats, tough durable finish and a nice shine. Welcome to Tin boats [/QUOTE]
