Message: <blockquote data-quote="Duckduckgoose" data-source="post: 487699" data-attributes="member: 27517">I got an old Grumman that needs the transom wood replaced. There is aluminum encasing the wood that is riveted to the hull on the sides and under the wood to the outside transom skin. It looks like the only way I can get the wood out is either:A. Cut the welded on corner caps so I can pull the wood up and out. I’d also have to bend or cut the cap over the transom as well to get the wood out. B. I was thinking I can cut the aluminum covering the wood and leave 1-2” on the sides and bottom so I can use it as a bracket and attach the new wood to the sides. I’d probably have to bend that left over aluminum a little to get the wood in.  B option saves me from finding a welder since I don’t have that skill. But don’t know if aluminum covering the wood provides any support I’d be losing. Thoughts?
