Yep, my cap stringers were the same way. I have some filler pieces made to tab back in to the transom. Thanks for the info and pics!

Look at propriders thread on his Viper rebuild in the Restorations section. His transom is beautiful, and can probably hold 2 motors on it.

Knees will definitely help reduce the stress at the corners. If you do go with installing knees, just make sure they don't interfere with your engine mounting bolt holes.

Additional won't hurt, especially where the bolts will be is my procedure

Cool. I’m throwing another layer on it just to make me feel better, then calling it a day. Thanks!!!

Are the two layers of 1708 enough on the outside (side facing bilge) of the transom?

Other than the extra weight of the extra layer of ply, its not going to hurt a single thing. :up:

I tend to overthink things, probably should’ve stuck to the 1.5, Oh well. I’ll drop in some braces and call it a day then.

Thats a THICK transom! Factory is only 1 1/2 inches thick. Tire your stringers into the transom with some knees and you should have no issues with hanging anything you want on there.
