hello my 1232 has an 11 year old transom that was 12 wide" x the width of the boat long. this is how to previous owner had it, i drilled the rivits and pulled the old wood out. the transom is in bad shape, it was pushed in from what ever motor he had on it for 11 years. so i straightened it out best i could and can do better once i get a zero tollerance transom going on. im putting a 15 horse on this thing and i need to see how you guys took care of reinforcing your transoms to handle some bigger motors. i was thinking a really hard dense 1" wood the whole transom zero tollerance, and a 16" x 12" aluminum backing plate. but ive never built one of these and need to be pointed in the right direction. thank you for the time! -mat
