Not only common on Superboats but it was a well-known issue on Shadows which had balsa core transoms. It's been a minute but I recall superboats having plywood transoms and not needing reinforcement? In any case, today's outboards are bigger, heavier and generate more torque. Transom-to-knee reinforcements should be mandatory equipment on any of these boats.

Thats true, still runnin an old two stroke pro xs....would def build it up for a heavier 500r. But gonna run it as it is. The boat is 40 years old and not one stress crack...thats pretty good to me!
