I've always used one. Even on smaller boats with like a 25 on it.

Using that deal that goes over the trim dealies right now.

I had a salesman at Cabela's tell me that the flip down bracket is better than a transom that mounts to the trailer. It takes more weight off the transom than those "flimsy ones that slide over the roller." This was a 5 year old boat with a cracked transom by the way.

I need to get one. The only way to get the foot of my motor high enough to tow is to trim the motor up or trim the hydraulic jack plate up. Without the transom saver, the jack plate is the lesser of the two evils, but I still worry that I'm doing damage.

speaking of, what is the reason some boats have a platform extending off the transom that houses the motor mounts? does this design help with anything? I know boat length is measures from bow to transom to these boats are technically longer the regulations say. Is this the main reason or what?
