Question for all you experts

[afernand]

Would you have suggestions on how to re-inforce the transom on the inside so that it can take the weight of a new bracket and outboard motor? (I am re-powering an old hull that had inboard engine). Should there be a brace of some kind, where the transom meets the deck and hull? Will carbon fibers (Kevlar?) help?. - Thanks for your comments, aaf
