I concur. This drawing is only designed to be used for locating the cutouts and hardware locations for the 496 engine. Engieering Drawing Practice dictates that ONLY the information required to get the job done is to be included on the drawing. In all likelyhood, that drawing is a "shop drawing" that would be used only once..attached to a particular boat with specific options.
Any other details which are not required....such as exact transom shape in this case, are superfluous and a waste of the draftsmens time. DJ
