Hey Rotor,
It's a flat pad, 10 1/2" wide if I recall correctly (boat is in storage right now). You can see part of it in the photos on the Craigslist ad. I'm making the transom bullet proof so that...

Oh yeah, I'm all over this type of stuff, I've been into fast outboards for 20 years. I don't want to widen the pad - it's already pretty damn wide (10 1/2" if I recall correctly - boat is in storage...
