[QUOTE="DaveInGA, post: 164652, member: 166"] Bassboy and Ranchero, Both you guys are saying I've over engineered my first cut at the design thrown out for response and criticism. It was late last night, I was taking Lortab for pain and had a shot of brandy in the hopes of getting some sleep with the pain from my tooth. I was hoping you guys would come back with an altered design or suggestions on tweaking that design, which now that you did, I can modify. Then getcha to look at it again. I'm excited it may cost a good bit less materials wise. A couple of the design thoughts I had when I drew that drawing: 1. The design has to be 1.25 inches thick when finished to fill the "hole" I have. 2. I'm not sure I can get 1.25" tubing, but I can get 1" tubing and .125" sheeting. (Note: If you guys know I can 1.25 inch tubing, I can eliminate the sheeting except for "exposed areas of the transom or areas I want to build up for addition stiffness.) 3. Stiffness is a concern when supporting 300 pounds of outboard I'm thinking, so I don't want to under engineer. I'd rather have it too strong than have to go back and reinforce it. 4. I want to be sure to have enough reinforcement nothing will flex and pop a weld down the road at an inconvenient time. [/QUOTE]
