Reel:
I don't think the shaft length has anything to with the motors clearance to the splashwell, With or without any setback being added. Or did I miss understand? Chomper: You may only be running the in bay, but your first post says you want to add a platform / seat in that area after a mod - sounds to me like your might be planning on adding a lot more weight back there when not running? Do yourself a favor and raise the transom 5" now while your doing the job. Speaking from personnel experience. Adding a bracket with any kind of setback brings more problems than most people first think in a boat of this size. Kamikaze

Skools, that is the conclusion I came to as well run the old engine till it blows then replace. However the only thing that is holding me back is I am not sure how to fill the notch in. Do I just build a mold to hold the arjay and then glass over? I want to make sure it is strong enough because I still want to put the jackplate on it.

yeah you build up a glass mold on each side then pour in and then glass over completely when finished.
here's a picture of mine built up but not yet finished
