[QUOTE="muskyhunter1978, post: 508399, member: 34965"] Thank you for the reply. You and I are talking about the same guy on Youtube, Team Reelin' the Blues. After quite a bit of research on this topic, I feel like his way is the most sound of options, maybe even overkill. Now, I haven't gotten it all pulled apart to see the extent of the damage, but as of now, I don't have nearly the holes he started out with. This is what is intially leading me to just use a thin sheet of aluminum on the backside to fully seal it up and also arrest the corrosion. You commented about the two layers of aluminum and the cap fitment. I'll absolutely check this. My guess is a 1/16 of an inch, I can "fudge" the caps a little if needed to make it fit. My plan after its all done is to sand, prime and repaint the entire transom so UV won't be an issue. As I said, I'm not looking to sink thousands into this thing and just want a nice serviceable boat for a while. I know me, I'll be on to another boat in 10 years... lol. Here's a couple pics of this thing. For an 01, she's in darn nice condition.[ATTACH type="full"]118318[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]118319[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
