willy, i made angle braces for my jon boat when the corners cracked. if you can weld it's easy or someone that can do it for you. 4 6 to 8 inch pieces of 1 1/2 angle iron and 2 pieces of 1 inch flat iron bour 9 or 10 inches long. lay the angle pieces along side of boat and back of transom at the corners and lay the flat iron on top and tack weld then take it off and weld it good. place it back on the corners and drill two holes for quarter inch bolts on the transom and on each side and bolt. problem is over.
