Should i put a wood transom on this new Alumacraft 1448

jtm546 · Apr 22, 2015

I am new to jon boats and I just bought a 1448 mod v Alumacraft. I am going to put on a 1985 20 Hp 2 stroke Johnson. Should I reinforce the inside of the transom with some plywood or if you have any recommendations of what kind of wood that would be helpful? Or do you think it would be okay? It does say its rated for a 25 HP motor. (Pictures are attached)

Thanks

Jon

Structurally, you are fine. You can add some to the outside for looks if you want though.

Nice boat.
