[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 355277, member: 1931"] Bracing for the floor would be best attached to the ribs. That will make it solid. As for your transom, it appears that some pieces are missing. However as stated above. Bond two pieces of 3/4" ply wood together. I'm a fiberglass man myself so that's what I use. It makes the boards stronger too. Personally, I'd fiberglass my transom all around, but any other method will work. You'll want to make sure it fits good and then you can use some screws with some sealant or through bolts with sealant. I'd suggest building a cap for the transom and screwing it to the wood. Then make some corner braces. Just about anything with work. It only needs a brace at the top. Best of luck on your build, take lots of pics and give us time to respond. [/QUOTE]
