Original SeaCraft transom design ???

I think if you are running a outboard you are going to be putting more stress on the transom especially with a bracket, and the weight and torque of these newer outboards. So if you think you will ever go this route build it up. Ive done a 1979 and a 1973 the 79 was an outboard model and had alot more glass on the inner skin and outter. The 73 im doing now is an i/o and dooesn't have as much glass on both the inner and outter which shocked me cause everything else on the 73 is built a little stronger like the deck. And i know for sure that the 73 transom was original.
