Using aluminum angle to get a flat surface doesn't sound bad.

I got ripped off my boat is 6 inches short.

Cut up a piece of 4x4 or build something from 2x4's into a custom carpeted bow stop. Maybe 3D print something. I use a carpeted 2x4.

Talk to a welder first.

Add a safety chain too.

Actually, you could move the bow stop bracket up the winch post.

I agree leave the bow stop where it is and move the winch where the pully is.

Don't forget to seal the wood.

Have a piece of aluminum formed to fit over the strake and have it welded. If you use any of the listed products to fix it and it doesn't hold up and you decide to get it welded it will be a pain in the *** to get the aluminum cleaned up to weld.

Don't forget to get the proper tongue weight. Around 10%.

My best guess is that when the transom wood is removed the aluminum under it will be like swiss cheese.

SYP X grade would be a good choice.

Looks like someone put pressure treated wood as the transom. Pull the old wood and see how bad the damage is.

What is on the inside of the boat where the patch? Is there any visible damage?

BCX plywood will work too. The X means its exterior grade.

While it will work there are better ways to patch aluminum. A flat tire can be fixed by filling it with concrete, but it's not the best way.

Clean off the fiberglass first then you can see what is really wrong. Then you can see what the real problem is and how best to fix it.

Sand it back until you get to where it solidly attached. Or better yet peel it off and fix it right.

Is the Baltic Birch made with waterproof glue? Maybe you should test some.

The big Starcrafts get done.
