Tuck,
If properly installed, a bracket will not stress the transom and will actually improve performance. If you're going the twin route when repowering, I'd recommend a floatation bracket to keep the stern as high in the water as possible. A pair of either 115/140 4-strokes or 2-stroke DI's should give you ample performance - 26-28 knots cruise, 36-38 knots WOT. If you're looking for speed, go with 150-175 2-stroke DI's. Leaving the transom as is (25" I assume), you will get waves over the back very easily, especially with a couple guys back there. Good luck.
