DaleH - I'm in Central Illinois, so snagging your sheet likely wouldn't work out so well, haha. I appreciate the offer though. I was hesitant to sheet the whole thing at first, as it's only secured below the transom (you can see the brake bends on the bottom of the OEM piece). Bolting the whole thing in multiple locations would be super solid though. No need to use the existing mounting configuration if I go that route. Ctilton - Thicker material is a good idea too. I was stuck on the thought that I had to use the same thickness as the original skins, but in reality the only thing that contacts this place is the motor itself. I could use whatever thickness I want. The tube transom is made from .125" wall tube and welded up awesome. My welder is happy with that material thickness.</blockquote>
