[QUOTE="user 10949, post: 304477, member: 10949"] I'm having a very hard time finding someone in the area that will tig weld aluminum.. Wondering how bad it would be to cut the aluminum cap off the transom (or leave it on) and bolt on a thicker aluminum or galvanized U beam across the length :?: [img]https://www.tinboats.net/forum/images/albums/userpics/20949/untitled.JPG[/img] this would also save me having to replace all the rivets for the transom brackets on the sides and the floor. and it seems to me I could create a much sturdier brace than if I welded equally thin aluminum sheet all the way across. any opinion on this kind of fix?
