Ok guys just got my new to me boat 16' mod-v aerocraft alum boat, the transom is for a short shaft motor....I know everyone is going to say get a short shaft motor... that is not an option right now...I went out there tonight and measured the transom from the bottom of the boat to the top of transom it measured 16" I know a short shaft motor is 15" and long is 20".....I guess what I am trying to say is should I build the transom up with some wood and through bolt and alum plat with alum square to get the right hight kind of like this
or something like this
I also saw a plate like this online which I thought was a pretty good idea and would work well

I will be putting a 57 evinrude 35hp on this bad boy, the transom is rated for 40hp...
here are some pics of my transom as of right now....
