I have a build thread posted over in the boat build section, but I need some jet expert advice.
Built the transom riser frame today. Pinned it all together with stainless screws, until I can test the motor height. Once I feel she is dialed in, I am putting it all together with 1/4 inch solid rivets, and covering it up with diamond plate. With the motor on, the transom has absolutely no flex. If the metal yard has it, I plan to replace the board with a 2x6 piece of aluminum. I also plan to put two more supports, from the three transom supports at the bottom, to the top of the riser. Finally, I am going to cut three feet off the center keel.
Does it look like the jet foot is at the proper height?
Any suggestions on what else I should do with the transom?
