My mate is building an 8.5m ply boat and will fit a 250 Honda.
I know there are a ton of variables but anyone got any input on nominal transom thickness assuming strkucture is all up to spec?

If he doesnt have plans i'd be talking to a marine Architect or Boatbuilder. Not something you want to be guessing at.

How is he planning to mount the engine. 
Directly to the transom?
On a pod bolted to the transom?
Inside the transom - some boats have the engine inboard of the transom?
Make sure the transom is well fastened to the hull. 
MarkE is right - if it is a home design get the plan looked over by a boat designer or builder, and have a good talk to the Honda dealing you are purchasing the motor from.
Google 'transom failures' and you will find lots of information about other guys experiences....
