Transom support plate question
I'm putting an Atlas on my 201 Evo. Looking at the one on there now, there is only a transom support plate on the top bolts. The bottom bolts have a 2" square backing plate on the inside in the bilge on each bolt. My question is whether or not I should buy a 9 7/8" transom support plate for the bottom bolts when I install it? I'm sure it can't hurt but would it still be alright with the small plates that are on there now? There's room for it, I just want to know what is typically used. My boat was rigged at the factory and used by the staff there as a photo op boat before I bought it...so I'm sure it was rigged properly from the start. For what it's worth, it's got a 250 ProXS and the 6" Slidemaster. Thanks.

Id think that you really dont need it but why not just do it for peace of mind. Couldnt hurt it. Protect your investment.
