    Hey guys, just bought this boat from someone. 12 ft. aluminum. The back is pretty banged up, when i attach my 4hp mariner i feels like its very close to snapping the stern completely off. i am a novice and i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to go about restoring the back or any suggestions on alternatives.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    The wood needs replacing. Take the old board out and set the new one on liquid nails. Bolt and screw it like it was. That should solve your problem
