For all those who have helped with the thousands of posts on transoms I have finally finished my 14' 1981 SmokerCraft Alaskan with a new floor (carpet on the way), bench seat, and a new bullet proof 16" transom (3/16" aluminum epoxied between two pieces of plywood). It has a 25hp Merc hanging on the back but it could carry a 95. I hope to find a way to post pictures with this but I don't have a web page. Thanks to all cause I am going fishing.
