Looking for some opinions, I go to Canada for a week every year and usually we transport our motors in the truck with 14ft aluminums already up there. I am contemplating buying a 16ft tiller to tow up there to fish a little more in comfort. The layout would be similar to a Lund Fury 1600. Now most motors with this layout I am seeing are 25hp 4 strokes and bolted in and under normal conditions would be no problem but the last two miles of my trek is pretty treacherous. Lots of bouncing and dips and extreme stress on a transom with weight on it. Last year I lost both running boards on the trail due to bottoming out to give an good perspective.
now my question would you question ripping down a trail and trust the transom to hold up just fine with the motor hanging on the transom. Obviously I would have a transom saver...
Thoughts?
Only thing that I have heard that you haven't is the single bevel actually creates more of a twisting motion and better blood trails. This is one bh which has almost drew me away from my beloved slick tricks.

I have a 01 fishmaster, I do love it but wish it had the cut outs in the back like the newer ones. That extra foot or so has to be nice with setting up the two extra riggers and netting fish
