Thanks guys. Motor is covered now. Maybe I don't understand what a transom knee does. Mine go from above the deck, and are glassed into the stringers. My stringers are full height from the bottom of the deck to the bottom of the hull. If my knees ended at floor height it would just be a bigger stringer. Also, I got ahead of myself worrying about knees and stringers. More importantly how many layers of 1700 bi-axial should I use for the inner skin, and how much should each piece overlap? The previous inner transom skin was about a 1/4", made of woven and mat. I assume 4 or 5 layers of 1700 will be much stronger, but thinner.
