[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 154359, member: 1931"] I would go a coupld inches past the bottom of the motor mount. Think about an outboard, the prop spins and pushes in at the bottom of the motor bracket and pulls out at the top. If you stop it too short it could start to weaken the aluminum. I can't tell from the pics, but it looks like the motor is just clamped at the top and no bolts through at the bottom? If so that I'd say you can drill a couple 1/4 inch holes at the tol and just through bolt the transom in. I'd personally add a couple at the bottom and just make sure you seal them real good.
