My old 15ft. Starcraft had a trapezoid piece of plywood on the back of the transom that the motor clamped to. It looks like 1/4" but I can't tell for sure cuz it's so rotted. Whatthickness plywood should I replace this with?..I am putting on a larger motor, 50 horse.

3/4" plywood won't hurt a thing, especially if you're going to a bigger motor.
