Hi all,
I'm re-doing my 70's Duracraft 14 ft v. I took apart the transom and found that there was a steel 1/8 in plate about 4.5 inches wide that runs the length of the transom. The plate on the outside of the boat is about 10 by 12 inches also steel. My question is whether that kind of strength (and weight) is necessary? Could I just use a smaller section or maybe aluminum plate instead?
