[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 517307, member: 22613"] That rib is going to make things tricky. If you could get the last inch or so of the rib pounded flat, I would get some 2-3" aluminum flat stock and bend it around that corner as a patch to start with, going a couple inches past the damage on the side and bottom. I would also incorporate a piece of angle installed from the inside as a backer for further reinforcement, the transom skin looks to be pretty thin. Have your fasteners go through it as well, sandwiching the hull between both pieces. Rivets or stainless nuts and bolts would be fine. Clean it really well and use some type of aluminum safe sealant between your patches and I think it'll be more than fine. [/QUOTE]
