How he heck would you reinforce the transom? Tear it apart and reglass? Seems like a crazy project,especially if you had to crawl under the deck.
On my '76 model M17 only the upper half of the transom was backed by a 3/4" piece of plywood that was glassed in. I had a local fiberglass man extend the plywood backing the rest of the way down and glass it all in. This was not just for the motor, but also to support the swim ladder I added on the starboard side. Definately a miserable project. How he did it I can't say, but he didn't tear the transom apart.
