Draglink, I gotta admit that's a really purrdy repair. Nicely done!!
RW, actually I think that adding a stiffiner plate would be a good idea, as long as the wood it's going into is solid. In fact, I'd do what several others have said and add one inside and outside the transom...make a sandwich of the broken area.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
