hey guys i got a quick question. i have a 1980 Monark 1648 jon boa. i recently purchased a 1986 25hp nissan outboard. he problem is the transom flexes 1/16-1/8th of an inch when i take off. is that normal? and will it cause any problems? any suggestions on how i should beef up the transom? it bends right below where the wood stops. ill upload pics tomorrow or the next day.
 

oops!
