What is this below the transom on my jon boat?

[lakedawgs]

Cleaning up my new to me 1987 Grumman 1437 jon boat.
Can someone tell me what the divider and 2 small standoffs at the back of the boat are for?
THANKS

The divider is a brace to stiffen the transom.

I have no idea what those little brackets are for, perhaps mounts for a bilge pump?

Keep the battery up out of the damp?

Knee brace and maybe something to mount the fuel tank.

Brace for the transom, and the other two are interesting. Maybe so you don't clog the drain with beer cans? Or maybe so you can make a gas tank frame? Not really sure

those two things on the bottom are for holding up the fuel tank and battery

they work pretty good to support a piece of aluminum sheet, for a floor

I had the same boat briefly, traded straight up for a 1542 Grumman.
