I also cut it square and used bent channel aluminum cut on 45-degree angles, that was then bent and formed for the corners, for the trim cap. Internal to the cut (meaning where you can't see it) the 'cut' wasn't absolutely square - as there is a 1" radius corner. Truly square corners will be a form of stress riser - so avoid square cuts. I cut it with a sawzall and a new sharp blade. But drill the hole for the corner radiuses or radii (both are correct) in place 1st! [links]
If using any SS hardware, insulate the SS from the aluminum by nylon washers under the washers for the nut or under the bolthead. Or use adhesive-lined heatshrink on the bolt body. I still recommend doing this, even if not used in saltwater, as aluminum is less noble than stainless steel and over time, the aluminum will corrode due to the presence of the SS, which steals its ions (called galvanic corrosion). A DIY cheap method - that works (I did it when I was poor . ) is to use duct tape. Yup, added a layer to backside of washers. It works!
Well, I did it . sort of, meaning that when I had replaced the ENTIRE transom of my current tin skiff . it was far easier for me to make it into a full, tall transom piece and then cut it down to what I needed for the motor height (mine is a long shaft). But the process is the same. I actually raised the height of my transom (see red line in pictures) from where the old height was ( blue line ). I'd need to see a picture of your hull to get a good glimpse at the knee and other structural systems to give good input. more

I will try to get some pics of the transom and get them uploaded today. more
Measure . cut . seal . add trim cap. Mount motor and you're done! Strongly advise you measure 3 times and cut once.
I tried contacting Smoker Craft for some help, but was directed to my local dealer who was no help whatsoever. [links]
I know neither he nor I have ever registered it, and am fairly confident it was never registered by the previous owner. I have searched high and low for any form of identification on the boat to no avail. There is no HIN, nor is there any sign that a HIN plate was ever affixed to the transom. So, I am guessing it is pre-1972. The capacity plate has been missing since before I got it.

Hi all. New member here. I am trying to get my hand me down boat registered with the state DMV so I can use it on some local federal waterways. They are insisting on a a year and model to complete the registration. Unfortunately, all I know about it is that it is an old 12 ft Smoker Craft my dad picked up in a trade back in the mid 80's.
It's a deep-v boat with an overall length of 12 ft 4 inches and a beam of 60 inches at the widest point. I would estimate it weighs approx 150-200 lbs empty. As you can see in the attached photos, the boat is all aluminum, including the seats themselves, the only wood in on the transom. more
