[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 435294, member: 21536"] Zach, refer back to your Apr 26th post about current vs proposed shapes. In my humble opinion, I'm not sure what you gain from a structural standpoint in making the proposed change to the shape of the transom. Not saying don't do it. You may like the look or the few inches of height gained either side of the outboard against backwash. Additionally, if you are going to put a plate back on the outside of the transom I would not use the shape like the one shown in your original post's photo -- the plywood one with the "wings" stretching to either side. You can kind of see an impression of a previous shape on your most recent photo. That shape would work and look better. Again, only my opinions here. I'm learning by watching how these issues are resolved so please keep posting. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
