Evidently the transome is solid. Keep thoughts coming. Thanks
The transom factory out of the mold is flat but a lot of the time when people redo the transoms they sag outwards and then once the new wood or core and glass work is done it stays crowned that way. You really need to add stright edge braces to the back when the new core is bonded in or it will end up with the curve. Not that it will hurt anything except now it doesn't match the bracket perfectly at the swim platform. I have seen this before and other than the calk pulling away it shouldn't be a big deal. Just make sure it is actually solid and not getting soft and bowed from the weight of the bracket and motors pullin at it.
