NO silicone under the water line, it wont hold or last.  There are many quality sealants that can be used that are made for below the waterline.  If your serious about stopping leaks, clean the interior then coat with gluvit sealer and paint. Make sure any wood on the transom is solid, if not replace it with plywood or your motor might go for a swim...and they dont float !! As for your 3 hp motor, how fast is the current ??  Big question there but it is important!!  I have a 2.2 hp on my 12' jon boat and that works OK in a 5 mph current but not any more than that..</blockquote>
