Temporary Repair?

If it's a temp repair, and assuming it is a mild steel mast step. I'd think about having a sister plates made up and spot weld them to the existing step. Should provide good support for a couple of years max or until you pull the mast to do a proper replacement, which you will most certainly want to do. BTW, very nice boat. Rick D.
