I haven't seen one yet that didn't vary somewhat. I like to use a long straightedge to try and average out the variances. Looks like what you have to measure with dose that as well. I have found that most transoms tend to bow outwards and when you mount the bracket its normally tight in the middle with slight gaps towards the outer edges...


My 27' has a crown transom with a recess for I/O's so it will be fun figuring out how to do a bracket on it when the time comes. Probably going to build the pocket out but try to do a custom bracket to match the curve of the original skin.
