[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 62069, member: 55"] I don't have experience with such like this, but I would think that Tracker planned for this when they built the boat. Obviously, they planned for a motor to be attached, and every modern motor attaches with bolts, so you should be fine torquing it to 90# as it is. Plus, even if it is a hollow double wall, I bet that it is pretty stout aluminum, as it will have to hold a 60 horse, so I would be surprised if it dents much, with 90 pounds. I would just go for it as is. Just double nut it, or use nylocs (or double nut it, with the second being nyloc :D ), and make sure you have large washers, or a backup aluminum plate on the inside (standard procedure for all motors).
