[QUOTE="BrayD, post: 505477, member: 24554"] My family dug an old 14' Sea King out of the woods at our farm. I already have a 14' V and this one has a big hole near the transom, so I thought I'd have some fun with it. My plan is to chop it down to ~10' to make it a fun solo boat. I thought I'd reach out here to see if there were any suggestions on how to build out the transom. I have 1/8" aluminum sheet on hand and I'm proficient at welding. My plan was to just chop the back off, weld in the sheet, seal as necessary, then build a wooden transom board for it. Just wanted to touch base with you guys to see if you knew of any pitfalls with that approach or if you knew of other techniques that would be more robust.
