I purchased a 79 c26 and it seems the previous owner reinforced the transom with metal brackets, after sailing a few times it looks like I need to add more or just re do it all. Any suggestions?

Hi Josef,
Any pictures to show what you're talking about? Why do you think the transom is weak?

I would love to see pictures. I suppose anything is possible, but I can't imagine a 26 with a weak transom. One of the things I love about my 26 is that it is built like a tank. I seem to remember someone saying they lifted the boats at the factory by the two eyes on the transom.

Welcome Aboard Josef - If you mean the part of the transom where the motor mounts, that is a problem area on the C26's, cracking in the corners..I removed EE's, and glassed the hole in so I could add a Garelick type mount.
We are weekending in Long Beach a lot, so catch up with me via PM here on the board if I can help in any way.
