    Bolt holes are about 13" on center so those would not work anyway. I cut one of the 1/2" plates down the middle long ways. Still need to drill the holes and radius or round off the corners to...

    Nah I'd take my time and do it my self. However I'm not sure I want to spend any real repair time on this bucket even doing it my self. Materials for the transome should not cost more than $750

    Perhaps I can sandwich both sides of the transom with plates on both top and bottom to extend the load on the transom. I can see two cracks extending outward on both upper bolt holes.

    Ok then perhaps I’ll use an angle grinder. It is pretty thick at 1/2”. Could use a compound sliding miter saw but angle grinder will be the safest. I still will need some bolts as well and am...

    Now I can see why they use 1/4" material. 1/2" gets a bit heavy.

    This is the smallest plate I have 1/2" thick. By 16"x6" so enough to make both top and bottom transom support plates.

    OK I took a wire cupped wheel on the angle grinder to the pedestal base and cleaned up as much rust as possible. It's pitted so can't fix that. Maybe a little paint will help.
