[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 396160, member: 13599"] Is there any way you can contact the Crestliner engineers to see what the specs are for the transom ? If you keep it as is and put a motor bracket on the transom, it may or may not be structurally safe, depending on the HP. In my mind, I am thinking that with the original I/O, there was very little stress on the transom due to the motor bolted to the frame makes sort of the anchor point for everything else. It is just a thought. I helped my brother change out an I/O power plant for an older Sea Ray and I was not at all impressed with the transom. But, it was an all fiberglass boat. Your aluminum hull may be quite different. Just a thought. it WILL make for an awesome project !!!! [/QUOTE]
