Thanks all, seems like previous owner already riveted a gusset on (you can see in the picture it's a strip of aluminium right where the clamp foot meets the transom). I'm confident now it can handle it, just have to find one for sale now - second hand is almost impossible and dealer says there won't any in the country before end of May or so. ]]> Wed, 19 Jan 2022 09:06:17 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136384&PID=1821850&title=pre2003-low-transom-mac360#1821850 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136384&PID=1821796&title=pre2003-low-transom-mac360#1821796 Author: OneWayTraffic

I'd put a 30hp on one of those. Because I can trailer a lot, and I don't like to worry about stuff I'd get an engineering company or an Aluminium boat builder to weld a gusset or reinforcement on. Shouldn't cost too much if it's a simple weld. ]]> Tue, 18 Jan 2022 09:34:51 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136384&PID=1821796&title=pre2003-low-transom-mac360#1821796 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136384&PID=1821767&title=pre2003-low-transom-mac360#1821767 Author: kitno

Geez, I got a bargain. 2 yr old highside with a 30hp with 8 hrs on it for 7.5k. Bought it 6 months ago.

I'll keep looking for a 30hp then and upgrade eventually. Seems like there aren't any at the dealers in the moment though.
The 20 looks nice, but it's a tad more than I'd be prepared to pour in to the boat. 20hp is only 5 more that Im using now and especially when the weather turned it's been struggling getting its arse up. With 30hp I won't have to weigh up every kg I take with me.

Trailering mid to long distance with out motor support is a killer of most transoms.]]> Sun, 16 Jan 2022 21:27:33 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136384&PID=1821716&title=pre2003-low-transom-mac360#1821716 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136384&PID=1821712&title=pre2003-low-transom-mac360#1821712 Author: kitno

Just had a look at mine, 2017 hull with 30hp. It's 3mm aswell. Snapper Geoff has had a 30 on his for quite some time now. As far as I know, he hasn't had any issues. As you mentioned, unsupported while towing could be the cause of failure in the bracket.

3mm. It has the battery box that takes a bit off the pressure though.
