[QUOTE="spg, post: 215232, member: 5224"] I need to replace my transom. I want to raise it 5-6 inches so that it is level with the top of the stern of the boat. The motor now sits about 5-6 inches lower than the top. The previous owner used solid oak for the transom and it cracked, so he cut it down below the crack. The transom is 60"by 20." The motor is a 15 hp. I'm going to start with 2 sheets of 3/4 ply to get the same thickness as it is now. Should I reinforce both the inside and outside with a alum. plate or just the outside?
