Hey guys, I have a lot of question marks about the new set up I am putting on my boat. I am going to put the '95 225 Rude that I bought from BigShrimpin on the boat, plus the '01 15 hp merc kicker. The Rude weighs in at 453lbs. and the merc weighs 112. This bring me up to 565lbs. on just motors alone. I have abandoned the bracket idea for now because of the weight issue. What potential problems am I looking at with this much weight on the a s s end of the boat? Also, I have heard about some people using a different kind of scupper on their boats that is more effective at being a one way valve. What are they and where do you get them? Mine are shot. I also am looking at options for raising my transom the 5" that are neccisary for the new motor. Almost thinking about doing it with a pourable product, but don't want to add more unneccisary weight to the transom. How much lighter do you all think the "glue and screw" meathod is? I know, I know a lot of questions for one thread and no pictures but I promise those will come when I actually do something productive:)
Transom weight.
