This transom was TOAST, but we fixed it!

Looking good!! After making my transom from aluminum, I will never use anything else.

[@Marioguajardo3167]

It’s coming along really nice!👍👍👍👍👍

[@TinyBoatNation]

Thanks 👍

Yeah i am winging it on a first go at replacing my transom, the back plate/dam looked like someone took a shot gun to it along with the back plate, bent, concaved bolt holes from someone over tightening them, so i cut some new 1/8 aluminum with the plasma cutter, one dam and one inner piece for the back, I was just thinking about using liquid transom but now watching your video it gives me additional options of just making a complete aluminum transom, issue is i have never tiged b4 even though i own a couple, looks like tomorrow i learn how to tig, cool video complete aluminum transom excellent idea.

I would really struggle with aluminum welding but you did a great job. It’s awesome

[@TinyBoatNation]

You can do it! It’s not that bad.

I have a question do you need that foam?

[@TinyBoatNation]

Yes, it's coming up in two videos.

[@SoFlo_Outdoors]

@TinyBoatNation So why do you need the foam though. More for sound reasons

[@rpmilius]

Do you have an idea of the weight/HP limits of that aluminum transom? Would you feel comfortable putting a 50 or 60 hp 4-stroke engine on it?

[@rpmilius]

nevermind, I just saw this on the website... "Recommended for 60 Horsepower and Under, and at a minimum re-using your factory transom bracket support for the original horsepower rating."

[@TinyBoatNation]

We make one for 60 horse. I have a video on it and it works well.

[@JBsWorkShop419]

Been there done that with a rotted old transom 😮

[@TinyBoatNation]

yeah, sucks doesn't it...

[@shiprecfishing]

Nice!

[@TinyBoatNation]

Thanks!

[@WayneTheBoatGuy]

In a way, wasn't it good to see some rotten wood and corrosion when you got it all apart?

[@TinyBoatNation]

Nope, it stinks. We always pray for no damage.

[@brad750]

WOW $634??? Not proud of that transom at all are you?

[@TinyBoatNation]

Boats aren’t cheap. People try to make it that way, but whatever.

[@brad750]

@ there’s “not cheap” then there’s horribly overpriced. What’s your profit margin on that, 60%

[@lonniesimmonds2294]

Do you have a email. Im in tucson for about 6month and would like to see your work and possibly go fishing
