Hey guys - looking for some advice. I have been lurking on here and was wondering if you guys could help me with some transom repair questions. I have learned from this site about replacing the wood however as you can see in the pics the transom skin is cracked in several places and most likely needs replaced? Also the knee brace has torn up from the floor as well. has anyone had the aluminum skin replaced by a fabrication shop? And what the estimate of cost is. This boat is new to me from a friend and would like to get this issue fixed before it goes in the water. Anyone have any other ideas as well to make it more sturdy - more knee braces, etc?

Thanks everyone - Matt IMG_5526.JPG IMG_5529.JPG IMG_5530.JPG IMG_5531.JPG IMG_5532.JPG IMG_5533.JPG

Pretty sure Polar Krafts are welded hulls.

I'm having trouble seeing the cracks in your pictures. Maybe an overview pic would help. Or pics marked up where the cracks are.
