I've installed a few over the years and so far there hasn't been any ill effects due to extra stresses on the transom.
The caveat here is to ensure the transom and existing swim platform are structurally sound. Also ensure the new platform supplier includes additional supports. They'll typically supply enough supports for the aft perimeter of the new platform but it doesn't hurt to ask for additional ones. I've also seen first hand that the supplier installations are substandard, at least in the ones I've seen. After all, they certainly don't take their time, they want to finish as fast as possible and move on to the next one so get references and talk to people who've had the supplier do the installation if that's your plan. As long as proper installation practices are used, there shouldn't be a problem.

Re: 13 Weeks to Boating/Golf..
I guess if one were to put engineered supports in, but where would the correct info come from... would you get this from a provider, the one I personally did see being installed was with tubes of 5200 and lots of sealant around the edges, there were some bolts and two supports.....

Re: 11 Weeks to Boating/Golf..
It has been great for the snowmobilers of late, trails all open..... Lots of huts on the bay, but we don,t see many people around there now, odd when the ice was thin people were everywhere. Some nice huts though, I believe you could live in a couple of them.... .......
