I'm rebuilding the transom on my Smoker Craft Big Jon 16'
model/1672J yr/1994
What I need is a picture of the knee brace where it attaches to the bottom.
Some p/o of this boat rebuilt the transom with a white oak plank to make it
usable with a long shaft motor. They really buggered this up.
I've got to get some holes welded where they bolted the motor on.
There's four pieces of angle iron mounting the knee brace to the bottom.
As long as I can get the transom board in I'm not going to mess with them
if I don't have to. They don't leak so I don't want to fix it till it does.
I'd like to see what it should be like.
One more question, Can I use stainless hardware. This boat will never see
salt water.
The screws on the transom appear to be stainless but they used regular steel
nuts on them and it looks crappy, they've rusted and left rust streaks on the paint.
