[QUOTE="Apex Predator, post: 271240, member: 8691"] Here is how I solved the problem. It's a copy of what I had on my Carolina Skiff. With the brace, it hardly flexes at all. I've got a 42" Minn Kota Riptide 50# motor to mount. Folks complain about the plastic motor clamp in the Minn Kota motors flexing and shifting around on their mount, so I marked the securing pad screws and counter sunk where they will be. It shouldn't shift on this mount. I've still got to clean it up and paint it. I did paint the plywood with fiberglass resin.
