So, I have a 1989 pantera 2 with a 175xp. My transom is solid, however the little bit of transom making up the splashwell does flex a tiny bit. You would only notice is it if you were really looking for it. I can lower the motor, stand on it and it doesnt move, obviously 175hp can put more stress on it than i can. It wiggles when I give it a shot of gas when I power load or something like . There are no cracks or anything like that, not a one. Its done it ever since ive had it with no problem, not gotten worse. Im just wondering if anyone else experiences this.
