[QUOTE="zachw, post: 433585, member: 22331"] First post here. Thanks for the help! I have an old riveted aluminum hull with a rotted, cracking transom. I've seen lots of threads on this, but my transom is a little different and the corner braces are at a diagonal to the horizon. How would y'all fix it? I think I have a couple options. 1. Fix the rotting wood underneath the aluminum transom that's folded over and re-do the welds. (worst option, this is just going to crack again) 2. Remove the braces entirely, remove all the rivets on the stern, and fit a new 1/8" aluminum transom over the existing exterior. Then install new corner braces (riveted to allow some flex) and a new U-channel. In this case, I would make it more traditional with horizontal corner braces instead of the diagonals shown. [/QUOTE]
