[QUOTE="timebak, post: 215286, member: 6198"] Great looking job! You'll be glad you raised that transom up first time you have to come off plane quickly, or are slow trolling in a following sea. I raised mine up on my SeaArk 1548 DuckHawk and am really glad I did. We were trolling for walleye last week and it was so windy it was whitecapping in the minnow bucket. When we'd turn downwind, the waves were slapping against the transom and would have come in if it was still 15". Then later on we were moving and a maroon in a pontoon boat ran right out in front of us, never even looked our way. I had to kill the throttle, shove the tiller over hard, and drop off plane quickly. Big stern wave splashed against transom, and a little came in, but we would have shipped a LOT of water with the original 15" transom. What kind of foam you gonna put under those seats? [/QUOTE]
