Another Moesly approach suggested to me by Skippertee was I added aluminum angle iron to the engne bottom holes on the inside of the transom. This was .25 thick x 2" x 2" and about two foot long (fits between the stringers). The "L" shape provides a lot more moment of inertia (stiffness) than a single flat plate. A double flat plate would be quite stiff as well, but requires removing the engine. My top holes were in better shape.
