[QUOTE="FishinFL, post: 140532, member: 3261"] Well got the motor raised up tonight. We built a transom extension, I found one for sale online that had all the measurement and we kinda copied that. The one online was 3/16 aluminum so thats what we used. Raised the motor 4 1/2 inches, I only went that high because I can add in a spacer if I need to but can't add a reducer. I think it looks pretty good and the one we copied goes for $180 so I think we did well. Weights about 18 pounds but we beefed it up so we knew it would be strong. I will post some pictures and I tried to show the cavity plate, it is about 1/2 inch below the bottom of the hull. Hope that is better but like I said I can always add a spacer if I need to. Let me know what y'all think and I am planning on getting it out tomorrow and giving it a test run, but my plug seems to be hiding somewhere in the boat right now so hopefully I can find it tomorrow.
