The PO had also gorilla glued ALL the rivets on the outside. I wanted to do my leak test without all the gorilla glue. Over all 4 leaks on the bottom and the transom well....Water just kind of poured out TONS of unnecessary  screw holes all of which were completely rusted. So i decided to start the to me big jon of rebuilding the transom. This is my first boat so completely learning as I go. I was able to get the transom removed after fighting a bunch of OE rivets and all the screws from the PO..Here is a pic of the transom removed and holes all patched up. Forgot to snap a pic before flipping it so no pic of the bottom wire wheeled at this time. <img src="https://i.gyazo.com/de594fff96332c335a642b700616bcce.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Transom wood removed<img src="https://i.gyazo.com/0dc1f568e180878ba1d6c9e014dab6d2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Holes all patched. Yes i know i should of had it welded but i dont have the equipment and this is a budget sensitive build.</blockquote>
