Default Re: transom and other stuff

Well do you first have a bracket you can get used?? If not that Stainless bracket with swim platform is around $1500 Add to that new shift cables throttle cables and sterring cable (whole new steering is cheaper then cable) Longer fuel and oil hoses!! Now you are $1700+
This doesn't include the cost of the Seacast and other stuff you need for the project.
On top of the fact that the center of gravity thing will makethe bow rise thus having the water break in the mid section of the boat rather then cutting with the bow. So to fix this you will need Trim Tabs if you already don't have them at another cost of $600
Don't get me wrong !! I love the way my boat came out and i love the bracket!! But it was a nessary thing for me to do. And anyone converting like I did i would tell them to go for it in a heart beat!!

So I guess it is up to how much you want to spend??

Keep us informed!! Good luck

Pictures take pleanty pictures!!! Step by step to post for all to see!! you are going to be are go to , How to rebuild a transom guy!! ;D
