Rotted Transom

[3rdday]

If you are going to do it, do it correctly, you are already goint to be replacing part of the transome, do it all. It may be easier to replace all. If you keep the boat you will win by default, if you sell it you will be able to get more $$ for it. A metal plate bracket ALWAYS set of alarms in my mind. Do some research before hand on what to use and how to do it, search the threads here. Once you get started it is not as paramount or overwhelming as it first seems.
