[QUOTE="Ictalurus, post: 394114, member: 2983"] This is the second time in as many days that I've seen what appears to be a "reverse transom" on a tin at the site. There is no reason that would not work, you made one heck of a nice jack plate. However, you have 20 HP on a 12' boat, it seems pretty wide, but there is a chance it may not be rated for that HP. I'd still keep both though, that's a sweet looking 12', and maybe for a winter project, I'd use a wider/deeper piece of ply and give the transom more support w/ that 20 hanging off the back. At that point, you could, or might as well, convert the boat transom to long shaft. Would appear you'd just need to add a few feet of channel over the new transom. [/QUOTE]
