Stan was quite young back then and I was pretty spry as well.

Graham,

Gee, I knew that you were restoring your boat for some time but I never realized that it was a 1876 model!  Now let's see, that would make Stan about ... approaching 200 years old!  Wow!

Jim:
My boat is a 1876 and only has a standard motor mount but even it has a plywood core glassed onto the inside of the transom where the motor mount is installed and in other areas where stress is applied. 
Unless I misunderstood, I would want to make sure that any flex is removed from the transom through reinforcement on the inside. Once that is done the crack can be fixed through the application of a couple of layers of glass and gel coat repair.
