Hi all. Thanks for the 'add'.
Just bought myself this Jon style boat. I'm after a bit of help if possible. It's 12' by 4' 6" beam and 15" draught.
It weighs 88 Kg and hull, seats and ribs are from 2mm aluminium. Can anyone tell me it's manufacturer as there are no markings. Also approx age if possible. I have to replace the rotten transom. To do this I have to remove the transom reinforcing bracket and the two aluminium angle plates that locate the ends of the transom board. Should the board go all the way to the deck as I'm thinking when in storage, if there's a puddle at the stern, it'll remain wet. (I dont have the original board. To rivet the parts back, must I use marine alloy rivets and if so, where could I source these? All 1/4" diameter but various lengths. I have a 2 stroke Johnson 4hp. It may be a while before I get it on the water to test so what hp would get it on the plane with me (88Kg) and another 50Kg for fishing gear and seats etc. (About 220Kg all up).
Many thanks, David
