I've seen same boats as mine with the manual wedge. My malibu didnt come with the wedge or bracket. I recently found a power wedge setup from a newer vlx that I couldn't pass up. so question is is the transom strong enough for it.??

You may have to take a peek inside to answer that question.  My understanding is that they added extra transom thickness on boats with a wedge.  Maybe someone else will correct me if I'm wrong.

I think that a decent aluminum plate added inside would do the same thing, provided that you had plenty of area and you bonded it to the transom.  On a Response, you really don't want more than maybe a thousand pounds of force anyway, or you'll sink the thing.
