[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 424803, member: 13599"] I think you are on the right track. in my honest guesstimation, anchoring a transom to a seat is not a good idea. it will also provide a kneeknocker and trip hazard when stepping over it. (if connected to the seat). UNLESS - you plan to build a floor or deck up high enough and brace it to that. if not, stick with the braces anchored to the floor. if you feel that the floor is insuficient, place a 1/8" aluminum stiffiner under the brace. size determined by your own thoughts. try to stay 3-4" from the bottom of the boat for the new transom wood. sometimes a lot of water will accumulate there and it could rot out the bottom of your transom. fabricating the transom wood is a very hot topic here - just read the archives - use the search feature. maybe I am wrong - there are several members here that have dealt with transom braces in the past. one step at a time !!
