[QUOTE="Rampaige, post: 517133, member: 22234"] I just pick up this ‘89 Grumman 16. The boat and trailer were free. I’m willing to put some money and effort into getting it back to water tight, but the corners of the stern where the transom meets the bottom are rotted out. They were patched with what looks like maybe 5200 and it’s flaking off. I was beginning to try to clean it up a bit but I noticed the aluminum is in pretty bad shape there. Is this weldable? I can’t imagine there’s another way to fix it apart from finding a welder. Aside from scrapping the hull, what’s the best way to repair it? [/QUOTE]
