transom and other stuff

[macojoe]

I love different opions!! ;D

I would go with the Seacast!! But as Seakindly said I would get all that I could out!! Then pour some resin in there to seal the wood up!

Now as for the center of gravity thing, Yes it is going to change!! Make sure that you get a stainless marine type bracket!! With Floation.
Mine is a 28" set back and has worked out great! For me as I was converting from I/O.
the boat will handle different, I think I have a larger turn radius then before. The Bow does rise higer then before and I am thinking of getting trim tabs to push it down when needed!
In a chop I am getting hit more in the mid section rather then cutting thur with the V
as for the rising of the transom for this?? well i don't think I would do it unless you are having water problems from drifting thur rips and things. Nothing like a full transom for that! I being a old I/O have not got a self bailing deck!! So this is goo for me.

So lets see:

Seacast Yes
Reasin in transom YES
Bracket NO
