[QUOTE="Shaugh, post: 475381, member: 19781"] Boats of that era used wood on the outside because that's what hand clamped motors need to be secure. If you notice on most motors there are actually raised teeth that are designed to bite into the wood. You'd be surprised how much torque a motor puts on that connection when it's turned all the way to one side and under full speed. If you do metal then grind a groove for the teeth on your motor... If the back surface doesn't clamp flush and rides up on the teeth you could be fishing for your motor some day... [/QUOTE]
