[QUOTE="Dantheman, post: 424802, member: 10731"] I had some time to clean things up and it looks like the transom bent from the torque of the motor. The wood will be easy enough to replace, but I would like to stiffen the transom up where the bend is. The easiest option would be to be to extend the wood down several inches and use stainless bolts to put it back together. Adding another knee brace would also be a good idea. Is there an advantage to having the knee brace attached to the floor instead of attaching to the back of the seat? I'm guessing the seat is a much thinner guage than the floor. I'm going to start tearing this down today and hope I don't find new surprises. [/QUOTE]
