A 1-1/2 in. transom is plenty strong.  Most important is how it is sealed.  I use fiberglass resin (2 coats) and be sure to plug any holes you drill with sealant.  I use 3M 5100 (great stuff).3.  Deck strength will depend on the frame you put under it.   Wood or alum can both be used.  4. If all you're doing is running from the shore to retrieve ducks, or set decoys, a 9.9 or 8 will work just fine.  But if you're using the boat to bust flocks in open water (to get them flying) a 15 would definitely be better.  MHO</blockquote>
