[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 104542, member: 1931"] You know I'm so used to working on fiberglass boats that what we call a short shaft (20") is really considered a long shaft. Also what we call a long shaft (25") is really the extra long. So in this case he would have a transom height of 15" give or take at the cut out. I just poured a solid transom in a boat with a 16" transom and I had to brace and bolt it to keep it from flexing the aluminum. He was only putting a 30hp on it and that seem just about right. However it is plenty strong. However your not pouring glass. So until we have the total height of the transom I/we still could not answer. [/QUOTE]
