The extra 5" does add protection against water entering the boat's splashwell and that can be a plus in following seas as mentioned, but also at the dock when unexpected waves from other boats and weather roll waves toward the stern....actually when tied to a dock overnite or extended periods, it's best to tie off w/the bow out toward big water for the same reasons...also, when you leave your boat in the water and tilt the motor up, the foot clears the water entirely...allows you to squirt the whole motor off after a day in the salt water...

I honestly can't imagine a 20 inch transom, we were shrimping in 2-3 footers last week & the only way to pull up the trawl is stern to the wind & my well was full with a 25" transom!
Not many little boats like mine, but opening day in Biloxi is worth a bit of a beating! Welcome aboard newbie!, Doug

Thanks for the great info. guys.
Thanks Nipper we're real happy with the way the teak is coming back to life. The next thing on my list for wood work is getting the gauge bezel made. But before we map out the bezel I want to find the set of gauges that we are going to use. Anyone know of a company that sells white faced gauges, with red back light and a gold outer ring?

Awwwwwwww crap!!!!!!
Well, I guess we are going all out with this so....... I cut the cap off the transom! The wood was delaminating and there is some rot in there, so we are going to redo the transom and build to 25". After all mah research we are going to go with seacast. This will be our first fiberglass job and after reading all the other post about newbies doing it I believe we can tackle it.
So I will follow with a bunch of pictures and I ask you peeps to tell us if we are doing it right, or of we are blowing it! Do I leave the thin inner fiber glass? How far up do I go with the seacast? Do I just fiberglass in the 20" cutout to 25"? I am now realizing what everyone says about this being pain in the a$$ to get all the wood out. If the link don't work it's because I am a tard when it come to this I pad crap! http://www.kodakgallery.com/gallery/...localeid=en_US

Well I got back into it and am finally tackling the transom rebuild! Here's a few pics if it works. Just the basic cut the cap off and the rear of the floor. The stringers and floor look great so I will not be touching them.
I have a buddy who has a pretty good past of fixing old boats and he is going to help me lay in the new wood and glass. I am stoked as this is my first dive into fiberglass. We will be building it up to 25 inches as well while we are there. image.jpg
