I’ve owned my own shop for 25 years now. We do similar repairs. Let me make one suggestion. Step up and get one tank of Hot gas for the Tig welders on heavier plate. Hot gas is Helium/Argon mix. It’s a tad bit more expensive but it pays vs tripping breakers and or preheating. Excellent job and skills! I’d hire you in my shop any day.

My buddies father was a welder at work with us and is in very bad shape just in time for retirement. Welded all his life and they do not think he will live another 6 months. Every unit at work had their own weld shop with exhaust equipment and they are huge part of the maintenance shop yet our industrial hygiene shut all the unit weld shops down and it is only allowed in the main welding shop with huge exhaust extraction equipment and they have access to supplied breathing equipment . Good health is priceless so take all the precautions you can especially if you have a family.

To overcome the transom board problem I sandwiched three 5/16" aluminum plates with two peices of 1" treated plywood and welded the assembly water tight to avoid any point pull or vibration on the motor mount bolts. The plywood acts as spring lock washer. It worked well for me. Very talented, great video

Nice very solid repair! Appreciated your honesty with the sleeve fabrication. Didn’t see the load spreading plate installed. Just a tip from a retired boat fabricator, if you make a cardboard template of your swim deck to bring to the metal fab shop it removes errors. They can’t say you gave them the wrong measurements. They obviously didn’t make allowances for the folded edges. Also a center brace would prevent flexing between mounting points.

Wow. A lot of work. I just hate aluminum mostly because I have refused to get enough experience with it. Fantastic, we’ll thought out work. That would be a $5000 upgrade from the factory! And after 35 years of fab and welding I’ve learned some pretty cool tricks, but the WD40 on the sanding disc was primo! 👍 Thanks!

They also make stearate matrix flap wheels for aluminum that won't load up FYI. Usually green.
great video!!, i love your attention to detail. the end result is a fantastic very strong transome that looks great too. very impressive work.
Great job guys! You are tops in your field as far as I'm concerned.
Fantastic job!!! You're proud of this project
Love the longer videos and a great job with aluminum.
I actually really like the look of how you tied in that step! Very organic, also would probably make a good grabbing point for getting close, but I'm imagining being in full scuba gear in open ocean or somethin that this boat will probably never be used for 😅

I hope it's not intended for use in salt water in any form. Stainless does not play nicely in contact with aluminium when chloride (eg sea salt) deposits are involved.
Another outstanding repair. Well thought out upgrades. Professional finishes. True skilled technician/craftsman.
been welding since 2005 just learned something new with aluminum wd40 and a grinder
Awesome man! I’ve always been intrigued by welding since a child. But only have done basic mig steel and dabbled with tig. Haven’t been told I do have a natural touch… with being a carpenter/craftsman by trade I’ve recently wanted to buy a new welder and get some hours in practicing then tackle trying to build a mini jet boat.. this video makes me want to even more lol. Fantastic work brother
I don't see that lasting more than a couple hundred years. Well done!

Never underestimate the power of stupid. The same idiot(s) that did that bang up job on it are just going to fuck up that good repair in no time.
Absolute beaut of a job there! The transom will be the best looking part of the entire rig now.
Really cool project thanks for sharing!
My buddies father was a welder at work with us and is in very bad shape just in time for retirement. Welded all his life and they do not think he will live another 6 months. Every unit at work had their own weld shop with exhaust equipment and they are huge part of the maintenance shop yet our industrial hygiene shut all the unit weld shops down and it is only allowed in the main welding shop with huge exhaust extraction equipment and they have access to supplied breathing equipment . Good health is priceless so take all the precautions you can especially if you have a family.
Who the bloody hell decided to put a step on the starboard side of the stern there, the same damn side that has the unified hose structure heading from the outboard into the boat hull?
Nice and clean , good work ,now your got a date in New York,good luck.😊
You sir are at the top of the game.
Good job !!!!! I'd like you to show you welding technique with the spool gun. looks like you are able to get a nice weld bead. Your repair is far better then then the original. Thanks for the video.
Nice work! Well done, you nailed it! 👍👍
We need to grow the trades and support all the craftsmen out there. Excellent work
Seriously upgraded transom bracket! Looks like it will outlast the rest of the boat, thanks for sharing.

rest of the boat will prob last another 2 years.. so id say yes! they should give these guys a all pe boat with a 4hp on there for how they treat theirs..
Haha, I've worked in parks before and they for sure have first timers on that boat every year! Who else wants to be on outhouse detail ;)
Excellent job, very clever on the swing step side. gives the swimmer an extra grab handle now.
Great craftsmanship!!!! Quality job.
Nice job man! I currently have my welded aluminum boat in at a shop for some repairs.
Just fascinating content -absorbing top job . Thanks for uploading . Jonny UK
Very nice workmanship !!!
I just did the same job on a 28'x10' decked barge. To overcome the transom board problem I sandwiched three 5/16" aluminum plates with two peices of 1" treated plywood and welded the assembly water tight to avoid any point pull or vibration on the motor mount bolts. The plywood acts as spring lock washer. It worked well for me. Very talented, great video
Very good job, the design,bending and wielding.
The pride and joy of their fleet, I'm sure
Never underestimate the determination of minimum wage employees ability to destroy a well made product. Looks like the think that is a bumper boat.
Beautiful welding and video taping !!!
Bravo!! That little tube mistake looks like it could be a nice grab handle when getting out of the water. Thanks for sharing.
What a great job. Congrats from Chile.
Looks fantastic!
Beautiful work as always brother!
I learned A LOT from this video, thank you! 😁🇸🇪
Great work and engineering Sir.
Excellent work! One useful tip: when you wanted to drill the engine mounting holes square to the plate assembly, clamp a piece of 3/8 or 1/2” steel plate to the face of the assembly and use your mag drill. Annular Cutters also work great on aluminum.
Wow man you do such a beautiful work you are a true Craftsman.
Your construction could stop a tank from rear ending this boat! 😊 My only concern is the real wall of the hull, I think this will be the next thing that pushes in from the power of the motor... 😮 Great job, as always, thanks for showing! 👍👍👍
If it's worth building, it's worth overbuilding. Nicely done, that should last a long time.

If it's worth overbuilding, then it's worth making it perfect.
Damn boy, outstanding vision looking forward.
You did a awesome job on fixing that making it with thicker aluminum
Very pretty job!!! Nice video!!! Thanks for sharing!!!! The only problem with this support bracket is if the owner desire for any reason to change the outboard engine!!! The other shall have different holes!!!! Have good time every time!!!! Best regards from Hellas (Greece)
Fantastic work!
Good work on the metal finish, for whatever reason folks by me like the brushed look so I run a SS wire wheel over the scotch brite to give it a directional look. Nice work 👍
Nice very solid repair! Appreciated your honesty with the sleeve fabrication. Didn’t see the load spreading plate installed. Just a tip from a retired boat fabricator, if you make a cardboard template of your swim deck to bring to the metal fab shop it removes errors. They can’t say you gave them the wrong measurements. They obviously didn’t make allowances for the folded edges. Also a center brace would prevent flexing between mounting points.

I love your work one question why not put the boarding ladder on the port to avoid the tripping hazard on the starboard ?
Amazing skills, Thank you for posting.
Awesome and very meticulous job as always. You never dissapoint :) If I had to mention something very small, it would be this: Don't let your drive for perfection drive you too far in taking care of every little detail. Looking at the state of the boat, I don't think they'll care very much about how "good" things look. If it was a fishing boat, or somebody's yacht, yeah, I get it. But this thing pumps poop. 😅
