Transom replacement???

[BigMike8o9]

I know that the bracket is better and going to stffen the transom if attached well, my reason for distributing the load to the stringers is because I have a longer and rougher trip to the ocean then you guys.
A trailer boncing the motor up and down on a bracket pulls away from the hull. The bolts will compress the wood and become loose. That's why I plan to ad on some wood and braces up the hull on the stringer and ad the knees because the deck will be cut down to get rid of the outboard well. It's small not like the big ones some of you have, about six inches. But still it will support the deck and I will create a flush below the deck cross brace. Then a flush hatch and I get a little more fishing room. That's my guess anyhow...
