How to 'Beef' up my Transom??

[Runty66]

hey everyone,

Was just wondering if anyone knows how to or knows someone that can strengthen up my tinny's transom?

My Max HP is a 15hp if that helps? i recks it could take a 20 as a 15 feels like it takes it easy.

Keen to chuck a 30 on it if possible

Thanks

What size is your tinny Runty ? It can be dangerous to over power a small boat they get unstable dude.

I think you would have to still support the transom where the bracket attached. you would need to talk to a boat builder is my advice man.

I had a 4.35m tinny with a 40hp yammy on the back and it got scary at full noise, I could only open it right up if it was glassy.

Im almost certain hp ratings on boats are not due the transom being 'under strength'.I mean it is a factor but only usually when being silly. I.e- putting a 100hp on a 3.5m tinny. It's actually a weight thing that the engineers that design boats decide what is safe.

Yeah mate you would have to go through a boat builder to get them to do it, so that your boat could be plated heavier so when you kill somebody driving a 3.7 like a muppet with a 40 on the back, you don't send yourself bankrupt with law suits....

Runty,

By the time you have frigged around with going through boat builders, compliance, etc. it wont be worth it. Just get a new hull.

or get nitrous :evil:
