[QUOTE="mmf, post: 224586, member: 4379"] my transom was deceiving, the top and sides were good but the mid and lower portion was as rotten as can be (see pic) I did not find this until I drilled into the lower portion. The middle portion of the transom is the most bearing part from the pressure from the motor. Don't mean to be so intense on my suggestions but I see a l ot of other tinboaters working on projects that just bypass the transom! :roll: I have rebuilt a lot of aluminum boats and my general findings have been, if you find rotten flooring 90% of the time you find a rotten transom too and also on fiberglass boats, If I found a rotten floor, I found rotten stringers and transom as well.
