[QUOTE="rewinder, post: 197111, member: 5688"] I picked up the 15hp merc today, it's a 2001 2cy with around 50 hours on it. It's a long shaft, so I'm going to have to raise the transom. If you look at the pic of the stern and imagine a straight line from the corners, that would raise the transom 4 1/2 inches. So as I'm going to replace the transom anyhow, I will make the wood even with that line. And then wrap the top edge with two pieces of aluminum with overlapping L bends at the top edge. Also I'll put aluminum angle iron vertical pieces, just inside the transom to floor brackets, running to near the top of the transom, and another angle iron right on the other side. Bolting them to each other, one set inside and one set outside. Does that make any sense??? It does to me, I can see it in my mind. haha I'll be picking the boat up tomorrow, and will post pics of the boat later when I remove the seat tops, and transom. Any other suggestions on my plan to raise the transom would be welcomed. There are a lot of talented tin boat modders here, and i learn something every time I get lost in all the different topics here. [/QUOTE]
