[QUOTE="Country Dave, post: 340982, member: 10344"] Good morning, [i]I’m not sure I total understand what you mean by[/i] “New aluminum sheet on the stern outside” [i]You could put a square piece of 0.90 just slightly bigger than the dimensions of your jackplate in between the outside of the transom and the jackplate. I don’t know that I would add sheet aluminum to the whole outside of the transom. As long as the existing “backside, or outside “of the transom is in good shape it’s just overkill. I would put a “light” coat of resin on the wood core and then sandwich it in between 2 pieces of 0.90 aluminum. Looks like you could make your transom as thick as you wanted it without any interference issue but don’t make it to thick. Even though the motor you’re going to run is going to be just about 200lbs, no sense in adding unnecessary weight to the stern. The float pods are worth their weight in gold IMHO, never the less no sense in adding weight when you don’t need it. I built the chit out of my transom because lots of ponies and my motor weighs twice was yours does. [/i] [/QUOTE]
