#3 Dirt CHEAP !! Boat Transom Repair 

The wood will rot where you drilled the bolt holes in the bottom of the transom through the aluminum unless you seal the whole replacement piece you put in. It will work until it doesn’t.😅

Those splash pans in the back too often get used by someone fishing out of the back of the boat as a place to put their feet when they get hung up and the guy up front backs them up there to get it loose. Most of those pans are thin and can't take that much weight or pressure. Their purpose is just to catch water and drain it back into the lake. I feel bad but i've had to tell people in the back, "hey that's not a step there".

This is some damn good work. Man, these videos that show you how to do things cheap are worth their weight in gold!!

And I think you did a fine job. Keep us informed as things progress out on the water.

Great job! Youre dedication is unmatched! I enjoy seeing this come together, keep it up!

Nice job Benny, this boat will be awsome!! Big thanks!!

Boat’s looking good Benny! Love your videos. It’s like hanging out in the garage with a friend. Every time I’m watching these boat videos I keep humming the Alan Jackson tune “Drive” and thinking about the lyrics “ran her for years till the transom got rotten, a piece of my childhood never be forgotten”

Looking REALLY good Benny!! Keep up the good work on the boat 😊

Look forward to your vids on a Sunday 👍

Job well done!

I redid my old boat with normal plywood in places…jump to today, hey, I’m redoing my old boat again!

This transom repair has been great, probably better than original

I hate ppl in comments everyone is a specialist i dont see them doing this if your not doing it right they should show us how to do it i have found you have a 100 ways to do something and some ways may be better but still i need a cheap quick fix to get me on the water for this summer and next i will tear it down thus winter and do it better

Bro, I SINCERELY hope, your going to be doing more DIY videos!!

Why not rebuild the transom with aluminum square tube if you have the tools? I have a similar boat and a mig welder, seems smarter to eliminate the wood...

Very nice KY without a doubt

Great job buddy!!!!

You had all the stuff to build in aluminum transom. I don’t understand. Why didn’t you just do that?

Mister Kentucky Yankee, I know nothing about boats, but in my opinion: you’re a beast ( I mean this in a good way)😂 Stay safe, ride on.

I might have gone out and bought marine epoxy, one that penetrares like... wood epoxy hardener. Then sand and marine epoxy final cost.

you got funkey ideas
