Thanks Willy, excellent info. You are 100% correct about dunking the motor, I see the water coming up all around the motor coming off plane in dead calm lake conditions with the 500 lb motor. Confused seas with a heavy chop would not be pretty. The scuppers were omitted during my build, glad I did now, they would be useless. I really need to go to the bay to see how it does.
The midrange motor is definitely a consideration, very efficient and budget minded for someone looking at a bare transom...
