Thanks for the replies so far. My gut tells me the transom has been redone before I owned the boat because I measured it last night from the top edge to the "V" at the bottom of the hull and got 27". The 225 Johnny on it now is a 30" motor. I like the idea of opening the transom to accept the 20", however on Lake MI when we have fished this boat previously we did experience water over the transom a little bit, especially coming off plane. I am not sure however if this was because of the weight of the 225 on the back or just something inherent with this boat? There are scuppers in the motor well so water over the transom is not a concern to much I don't think...you guys are the experts here.
