Refurbishing a Free Speedboat - Part 3 - Reinforcing the Stern

Part three of fixing up an awful, rotten, ugly 1970s boat! In this episode I do even more engine bashing, fix the stern the wrong way, and add a kicker bracket so we can get back to shore if (when) the main engine dies! Also I spend actual money on parts (but not much though).

This is probably the quickest and cheapest way to shore up a waterlogged transom on an older fiberglass boat. It's not the best way or the prettiest way, but it will keep a free / $100 boat out on the water. Also this way you don't spend hundreds of $ and weeks of work rebuilding the entire stern to end up with a boat that's still worthless!
