[QUOTE="BrayD, post: 505738, member: 24554"] You guys have me reconsidering my weld plan and researching other methods. Reusing the original transom may work if I only cut out the damaged portion, but if I'm chopping it I want to go a bit more extreme and cut the whole rear bench out. At that point I'd have to pull each side in multiple inches. Probably pushing it a little at that point. I'm currently looking into shrinking some 16ga aluminum angle so it will fit the hull profile, then riveting that to both the new transom and the hull. Need to watch some videos to make sure a 'budget' shrinker would yield acceptable results on material that thick. [/QUOTE]
