[QUOTE="dgram36, post: 321775, member: 11252"] Hey gents, I reassembled the transom and the tray a few days ago. All in all I'm happy with the results of the transom. I didn't take any pics yet, because she's flipped over right now getting prepped for paint!! My Parkers came in yesterday and I'm very excited to keep pushing on. I have some advice to ask you seasoned tin captains. Im thinking of moving my console back to the rear seat. I know I will obviously need new steering and shifting cables, but it will really give me more open space which is what i want for the ducking. Do you think that moving my seat back will put too much weight in the rear of the boat when running? I have a 40 hp long shaft, 10 gal gas can, and battery all in the back of the boat. Me and my duck hunting buddy weigh 250 each. So that will be an extra 1/4 ton sitting 5 feet further back on the boat then before. I will be putting aluminum decking on the floor and a solid plywood deck up front so there will be weight distributed throughout the rig. Let me know what you think! [/QUOTE]
