[QUOTE="Mizzie, post: 278807, member: 3140"] Hello and welcome to Tinboats! Nice to see some more New Englanders on the forum! About those corner braces, Honestly you're better off making some. If a company does sell them I'm sure they want top dollar being a 'specialty item' and all. Go to Lowes/HD/Hardware store and find a small sheet of thick gauge aluminum. Drill out the old rivets and use the old piece as a template. It should be relatively simple to cut it to shape and you can probably score all the materials (minus the rivet gun, which you could always return when done haha) needed for under $20 to re do all three braces (both stern corners and the one at the bow) if ya wanted them all new. Your boat is the "big brother" to my 87 10' Gamefisher, that extra 4' sure does look handy haha. Even though I don't need to replace them, I'm going to re-do my braces using diamond plate for looks. Do you have a motor for her yet? Can't wait to see how it turns out and see some pics of her on the water! Mike [/QUOTE]
