[QUOTE="boohya1, post: 481981, member: 25806"] I have a 16' unknown make jon boat I am redoing. Currently has three bench seats. My plan is to convert into a bassboat style set up. I am going to run a 50hp tiller, 109lb trolling motor up front. I plan to start posting pics of the progress once I figure out the deck layouts. But I am debating on getting an electric tilt trim? If I do I will probably go with a Panther, I have read to many bad reviews about CMX breaking. If I go with the panther it will also set the motor back 7", so should I reinforce the transom? For the transom I am going to be running a 1.5" marine grade plywood with a pvc or plastic liner between the boat and the board, its already laminated to the wood. I got it from smokercraft. Transom will be 55" wide at the top and 20" tall just like the boat sidewalls. I had planned to make some heavier duty corner brackets since the current ones has been cut by a previous owner. Should I go ahead and add a triangle gusset in the middle of the trandom to tie it to the floor? [/QUOTE]
