[QUOTE="caver101, post: 292199, member: 1995"] Buying a longshaft 27hp Prodrive mud motor from a buddy. His boat has a 20" transom and mine is a 16". I talked to Prodrive and the fellow told me to just weld a 4" tall piece of aluminum channel across the back of the transom to make it a 20" transom, said they do it all the time in their shop for customers boats. Its a 2004 Weldbuilt 1648, 0.80" welded hull. Good transom with good factory welded bracing. Has ran a 27hp longtail and 25hp outboard with zero issue. The bracing design is what my question is geared toward. I am going to have to get someone to weld it for me and I want to have it done correctly and I want it to last. I am just curious to see if anyone on here has done that and have any photos or tips from doing it. I tried to search on here for it, but never turned up anything like what I am looking for. All advice appreciated. [/QUOTE]
