Transom thickness.
Any ideas on how thick I should make the transom to support the bracket and twin 250s? The inside of the last transom was about 1.5" in the thickest places. I've got it framed and templates cut to epoxy in a sheet of 3/4" marine ply, will glass that in, and then add another sheet of 3/4" ply and glass that in. If there is any remaining gap from the stringers I'll glass in some additional wood between and glass the transom and stringers together. This is based on suggestions from my local boat yard. They've been letting me do all the work myself but I have someone experienced to help with these last steps. I'll attach some pictures soon.
