[QUOTE="Ringo Steele, post: 258189, member: 6694"] If the boat is rated for 25Hp and the transom is sound, it shouldn't really need reinforcing. If it is an older hull (when motors were rated at the flywheel instead of the hub, you may want to reinforce it slightly (couldn't hurt, could it! :wink: ) I am about to get a late 90's 25hp Yamaha if everything works out on the deal. My hull is rated for 30hp, but is a 1971 hull, so the 25 in a newer motor would be tops for it. My transom newly rebuilt, 1 1/2" thick and is made from 2 layers of 3/4" exterior ply, same thickness as the original transom. I do not believe it will need any reinforcement. [/QUOTE]
