    A fishing buddy of mine needs to have the transom repaired on his Lund, wood rot. Several years ago I remember a post about replacing the wood in a transom with an all aluminum transom. I have looked for more than an hour using our search page with no luck. The page really is a nice feature, probably operator error on my part. Anyway does anyone remember the transom repair articile or do you have current knowledge of where he can take his boat for a quality repair. He lives near Dubuque, Iowa. He is also looking into the pour in Sea-Cast method or replacing the wood. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Steve

    The place you’re talking about in Bellevue is Clark Boats – they make some beautiful creations too… they had a website if you do a search – build boats for Fish and Wildlife agencies all over the country too.

    Thank you all for the information. I will pass this along to my buddy. James the post as I remember it was close to this one but the person making the post talked about how he advised going with the all aluminum and no wood transom. Thanks again, steve
