My 1989 had the transom replaced about 9 years ago but the boat only has 280something hours on it since 1989.

My question is it does not seam like the hooks on the back for skiers are very braced.. Just looks like a U bolt. Would adding a steel plate across the whole transom and bolting the hooks through the plate (in their current location) be over kill? I just dont want to put so much stress in such a small amount of area.

I think that would be a little over kill. You might look at putting in a couple of 6x6 plates or something around that size.

Use stainless steel or aluminum for the backing plate material
