Wow everybody - thanks for the input. Didn't mean to get everyone so worked up
My trailer has plenty of room and it's only a 50hp, so I'll most likely be going down the road trimmed down.

[quote="taylorjm"]Wow, in that thread there are pics of the broken welds on a transom that weren't supported. I don't think I have ever seen a weld crack right down the center like that. That's the strongest part of the weld. It's more common to crack along the side because that's the weakest part. I can't believe there were 3 broken welds right down the center. I use a bracket and see it as cheap insurance.[/quote]
Looks more like poor welds to me. Wrong material for the weld or something.
