I hope someone who's done this will weigh in on this comment, but although your transom is strong, it will need further bracing to properly hold a bracket/OB installation...the I/O transom does not hold the weight of the motor...only the outdrive...

I thought that an I/O conversion to bracket is what MacoJoe did?

I may be wrong.
