full transom original v 20?

[cterrebonne]

from experience with my conversion. i believe that the full transoms that came with sea drives are beefy enough and had knees to handle the weight. where as my v-20 was a I/O conversion. the transom i find is too thin for what i wanted to do. therefore i need to thicken it and add knees and she should be fine. now my bracket was 215 lbs and i had a 3 litre looper. so about 700 and some change off the transom. It flexed a little but enough to worry me and make cracked in the corners of the transom hatches. If you have I/O it will work out fine to add knees because you have that whole area to work.
