[QUOTE="62lonestar, post: 420928, member: 18729"] 1/4in is way to thick. Jack plates that hold up to 50hp motors use 1/4in aluminum and the force on that is not straight down. You should definitely use 1/8in or even thinner. when the weight is straight down the framing is more important and as long as that is solid the thickness of the deck can be pretty thin. [/QUOTE]
