I have asked this question once before and need some more convincing. I own a 2003 Stratos 201 Pro XL, on the back is a Mercury Verado 250, , hydraulic jack plate plus a 8` Talon . I would like to put another Talon on the back but I am afraid that the additional weight will put stress on the rear transom.
Any one out there with 2 talons on the back plus a big motor. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

8' talon is 40ish pounds? I have a buddy with 2 10s on his 20ss with a 225 pro xs with no issues. I'd check the hull for stress before if you're worried.
Wouldnt think it will stress the transom. But holeshot will just keep getting worse.
I have two 10' Talons Gen 2 on my 2004 295 Pro XL. I have an 8" Hydraulic JP/Talon brackets. I run a 225 Pro XS with a 26 Fury.
Great hole shot and goes like a scalded cat.
Stratos transoms are somewhat bullet proof. Check for stress cracks if you're worried.
Maple syrup... I put that sh*t on everything!
