[QUOTE="he lives, post: 387565, member: 18502"] That looks great BigTerp...I'm sure those aluminum struts help to give some bending resistance to the center of the transom. My boat has a deck that runs right up to the transom, so I'd have to get a little creative on running struts similar to yours. I'd also be slightly leery of tying into the side rails of my boat. I've never seen anything getting into the specifics of boat design, but I imagine they're designed as a membrane type system. In that case, the rails on my boat would not be meant to absorb the type of forces put out by my engine. A little off topic, but has anyone ever run across the calcs involved in developing the HP ratings for transoms? [/QUOTE]
