Ok I bought my first boat a 1978 waco 14 foot flat bottom
Jon boat the wood in the transom is old and rotted and I'm
going to make a new one it has two knee braces (rated for20hp)
I'm planing on chisling the old rivets out because I can't put the
new transom in with them in the way. Ok here are my qustions
what kind of rivets shud I use (steel, almn?)
what kind of epoxi do I use to seal it
What kind of bolts do I use on the knee braces that go through
the transom (steel,brass?)
marin plywood cost to much for me I only paid 40$ for the boat
so what's the second best wood to use ?
Thanks for any responses Im new to boating and this fourm
and I have know idea where to start on this rebuild
