[QUOTE="larski, post: 413071, member: 14105"] Jack plate won't cut it as one of my goals is to raise transom so boat can be used more safely in rougher waters. These boats are made from the factory with either a 15 in or a 20 in transom. All aspects of the rest of the boat are identical. Indeed the transom starts off at 20 inches and is then "cut out" to get down to 15 or 16 inches. With this boat the cut out does not run the whole width of the transom, only the center portion, so it will be ease to do a structurally sound increase in height. The job shown in photos above is an example of a structurally sound modification. And if you are smart about it, you can make the mods so that they are reversible. Just gonna cost some money for the heavy duty aluminum plate and perhaps some TIG welding. [/QUOTE]
