[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 418511, member: 13599"] Larry - Welcome Aboard !! you would have to add some more information of how you will be using the boat - - - ocean, backwaters, rivers, ponds, big lakes, deep water, yada yada yada and what size motor would you use ?? The short transom is prone to being swamped from behind if you get into a pickle with high winds and windswept waves from the stern. Or, a big boat throwing a wake into your rear. other than that, I can not think of any negatives of a short transom. many many members here take it as a personal risk assessment. The 14-15ft aluminum boats I have had had short transoms with a 25-35hp motor. I think it boils down to your experience and seamanship in boat handling to avoid situations that could swamp you from the stern. be save - have fun ! [/QUOTE]
