[QUOTE="BloodStone, post: 370743, member: 826"] [b] Trust me, I'm 99.5% sure it's wood covered by fiberglass. If you put the supports/braces on the inside (maybe a couple of small 2x4s attached between the rear seat & the upper inside transom) you might be ok. However, some guys who have weakened transoms on the bigger fiberglass boats fabricate an aluminum diamond plate 'slipcover' that covers most of the outside of the transom including the part where the OB motor rests & clamps on. Bolting on a transom support wouldn't be as messy or time consuming not to mention an easier fix than re-fiberglassing the whole inside of the transom (also far stronger). Although the link below isn't the exact item, I think you'll understand the basic concept.
