re: Transom help

I wouldn't get too worked up about it. People use wood for transom things all the time on little aluminum boats like that. It's pretty hard to weld that thin aluminum and treated wood works just fine for most things.

Pics would help. Somebody here could tell you exactly what you need if they could see what you have.

I doubt you are looking at very much money. Should be a cheap fix unless you need the entire transom cut off and replaced.
