That should hold you until the fall and don't forget to trim the mushrooms off if the grow up through the crack - we have our "standards".

Come on Terry, you know the drill--------> 1974------> 40+ year old transom. The transom is shot, period.
Jeff,Don't spend a bunch ching into temporary fixes. Removing the motor, rigging disconnects, bracing metal plates etc etc etc.....bite the bullet dude, it's time.
Think safety first not another few rides while I can.
Sorry just my 2 cents, what the hell do I know anyway, I don't even own a SeaCraft anymore......Good Luck in your decision.
