[QUOTE="TexMaid, post: 343981, member: 13635"] Awesome, thanks for the advice! I'm guessing I just drill out the rivets for the corner caps, and then rivet them back in? I've never worked with rivets, so that will al be new for me. Also, how does the transom cap that they previously had in there look? Do I just have them make a replica of that in aluminum? Also, the previous transom was bolted in using all kinds of random bolts/nuts in random places. Guess I need to rivet it in as well, or can I use nuts/bolts again? Thanks again for the advice. Thanks! I moved to Lubbock from Houston about 2 years ago...wish I would've stayed around for the help! Any idea what it would cost to have them weld up the strakes? Thanks for the kind words guys. The Evinrude is a 1970, 18hp. Honestly looks like it would fire right up with some gas, but I'm going to tear it apart and replace the impeller before I attempt it. From what I've read, thats the best route to go. Here is the trailer that came with it...really think I'm better off getting a new trailer for it.
