[QUOTE="Ictalurus, post: 224907, member: 2983"] F4T, I feal your pain as I had the same issue with my Landau. The transom wood was shot, and it was also enclosed by riveted aluminum on 4 sides, just about the same as yours. I chose to drill out all rivets holding the transom in, was a pain but worth it. My new transom is two 3/4" oak plywood boards stacked together (1.5"). Instead of one 1.5" piece of wood, try using plywood, it is stronger. I put stainless steel screws in place of all the old rivets, #10 size screws are super close to the 3/16" rivets that held the old transom in place. I just recently finished, so no long term report, but so far so good. I've attached some pictures to illustrate my rambling. Edited to add that I used 3M 5200 on all screws. [/QUOTE]
