I'm looking at your pictures and I'm having flashbacks!!!!!! It's making my stomach nasueas!!! Lol!!! Man I remember when mine looked like that. It was shear determination to prep that hull for stringers. I look back at it now and smile, knowing what I acommplished. I wish you were closer so I could come help you. Just remember its all worth it!!!
Like smoke said tabbing your transom to sides of hull and tabbing your stringers is key. Also alternating direction of your 1708 will also improve strength. The 1708 patches that I put on my transom that were almost 18 inches wide and progressive will also distribute weight of the motor. The patches were put at motor bolt hole pattern on the inside of the transom.
