A method that I used when replacing the transom on my Ranger for clamping was to make up two opposing pieces of plywood, same width as the transom, reinforced with 2 x 4 on edge and get 12 or 14 inch carriage bolts and bolt the plywood through the pre-drilled motor mounting holes. Torque those down to "red in the face and can't give her no more" tightness. Regarding the holes I was taught that you should over bore then prior to mounting the transom and fill then with a resin/microbead mix that way the holes will be internally sealed as well when you drill the motor mounting holes.

Then you're golden. I did a transom once, and that was enough. Although i would imagine it is easier to do in an aluminium boat.

As Pigeon Troller says seal the new transom with epoxy, but I would have a good look at your stringers as well.

How much was it and could I get a link please?

I have not heard from MSP as of yet.

That last one is as old as I am Wayne.

I'll take it.

Just down the road from Dowsar Marine is Brewers marine Supply they are quite well equipped also.

I have never seen a boat wrecking yard. Be nice to find some.

I remember being welcomed into their home, dropping something off as I recall, and not wanting to leave because of the incredible hospitality that both Joey and Tybo showered on me. Pity there is nothing in the In Memorium section about her.

That is mighty fine work sir!

Golf is similar to fishing in that one can spend an inordinate amount of money on gear, but it doesn't make you any better at the core activity.
