[QUOTE="eshaw, post: 452210, member: 22134"] I've seen it done but I wouldn't do it. It was done to an all welded john boat. Basically the guy that did it made it a compartment, almost along the lines of a pod that went 2 feet back and extended up to the gunwales and it was welded to the existing hulls transom. The chines on the bottom were duplicated using aluminum angle, extended and welded to the bottom. The original transom was left "as is" and the extension had a couple of knees welded to the new bottom. Stringers were also incorporated into the new hull section. The top was tied into the top of the original transom with a piece of aluminum. [/QUOTE]
