[QUOTE="simbelle, post: 309042, member: 10384"] Do yourself a favor ( and I don't mean to be-little anyone else s opinion); But if your planing on keeping that boat for any time; Lay off the JB Weld. It will hold for a while, but I guarantee it will eventually fail in this application. The Cracks if yo don't want to pay a welder, use aluminium patch, rivets and a good amount of 5200 and you'll never have another issue with it. The bottom of the transom is fine I guess with the JB Weld on the outside since your going to Steelflex over it (I just hope with the cold waters you run in it doesn't just pop /crack under rhe flex but I really don't have any idea since I'm a Southern Boy.) I used 5200 from the caulking gun on my inside Transom seam waited 3 days covered it with Gluvit and then truck bed liner. It's hard as rock on the outside but I know it's still pliable underneath,( you can omit the Gluvit). dip your rivet in an epoxy sealant before filling the holes ( West Marine G-Flex would work well, but I'm sure even 5200 would work if covered with Steelflex later. I am no expert as you can tell by my amateur advise, just hate to see you get your feet wet or loose fishing time. [/QUOTE]
