Re: transom thickness
she is a pain to deal with and had turned off alot of potentional new customers along wiht several long time customers. It's a shame cuase they used to build a hell of a boat and knew what they were doing. I can talk to some people for you, I used to do tech articles for Family and Perfoamce Boat Magazine. They deal with HTM and were actually given a boat to do all kinds of testing and articles on. I will see if anyone I knoe has any pull around there that might help you get this thing strightened out.

Re: transom thickness
Maybe when there mentioning this problem they can also tell them that the rest of there boats still don't meet the requirement and that should be a major concern to them. Could you imagine a total recall to HTM like automakers get nailed with, that would be a business ender for HTM!!!

Re: transom thickness
Why can't the transom be less than 2"?
I can see that merc's bolts etc are adapted to a certain thickness, but the strength of the transom has to do with how it's built. What kind of plastic, armor, wood, etc. that was used.

Re: transom thickness
Yes the flatness could be an issue...
Another reason for correct thickness might be the length of the shaft (univ. joint). If the thickness is incorrect the shaft will be either too long or too short according to specs.
