posted 03-24-2005 03:42 PM ET (US)         2nd question - I am running a big old 1977 85hp Johnson. I stripped the hull and the transon looks good but I noticed definite depressions from the 4 washerred thry bolts for the engine. I am awaiting a used CMC 130 to mount and then the motor onto it. I was thinking of getting a metal plate made up to line the inner transom area (kinda the shape of a big smile) to beter displace the load of those 4 bolts. Aside from corrosion issues, any structual issues that I should be concerned with?
