[QUOTE="Ictalurus, post: 224995, member: 2983"] For me, it was just easier to take them out, rather than trying to bend them back to put the transom back in. Seems like I'd have to flex them too much and was worried that would do more harm than just removing them. One tip for you, I didn't have to drill every rivet, I have a set of big wire cutters (at least that's what I call them, probably actually something else) that would take the rivets off pretty easy, then I just used a hole punch and popped them through. As far as the wood, it's up to you and what you have would probably work just fine. I've just been told that several boards glued together were stronger than one piece that was the same thickness.
