old aluminum boat needs new transom. How???

[papason3]

the short- what is holding the screws in and how to i reattach when i get another transom built? Also not too important now but it had a bunch of things attached to it. Like handles Eyelets, hooks. How do i know what has to be back on there?

This boat i believe is a 196(0) something? maybe 18 feet long give or take some feet. I have not searched for what it is but seems like they said it was a crestliner. I got this from in-laws and they have passed on.

so it has a 40 horse Johnson outboard and the transom (plywood) warped and rotted. getting it off was a chore some is intact so can use as template. I cut a couple screws/bolts and several others just snapped, then i thought to cut around the rest. So now i have bolts and screws sticking out that wont come out and there is no access to inside. I am guessing there is a nut on the inside or what??

Thats it, what is holding them in and how to I reattach when i get another transom built? Also not too important now but it had a bunch of things attached to it. Like handles Eyelets, hooks. How do i know what has to be back on there?/

Pictures speak a thousand words. Really hard to picture what you’re dealing with there. If you have a title or registration, (which you’ll eventually need), it should have the make and model listed there.

MOD EDIT - No, leave it here. The Tinny guys will see it.

We need some pictures, papason. Some things should stay, some can go.

Thank you.
still trying to get. A picture up, it is not working

The boat is a 1967 Crestliner on little dude trailer.

I will keep trying on the pictures, that is something I need to learn on this forum I am guessing as well as how to find your post easily.

it looks like the boat had been modified from a shallow transom and splashwell.

 

[papason3]

So nobody has an idiea how these bolts are attatched or how to attatch a new transom?

Post some pick of looking down from the top of the transom . It might give a better idea on removing the bolts . Should be able to just cut them out with an angle grinder or sawzall .

my concern is not getting them out but how to use them or how to attatch a new transom
