How much do yall think the twobfoot section of transom I cut off will weigh?

Yea its either an 18 or 20" Stainless Marine with Yamaha 4-stk 150. With the addition of the 150 she sits about an inch lower in the back but the old paint re-aligns with the water right at the back of the console. Between the 150 and the Tabs, it completley changed the way that boat rides......much, much better.....I can get you some good pics next time Im over there if that helps......

Yep, I like pics! Right now I want twin 2.5L Mercs on a bracket. I was thinking 30" setback. I can always shorten my bracket if its too far once I water test.

Yea I'll get some when I go to the boat next.

As a diver I will even the hell outta you if the 30" works. My dive ladder is fine but some of my "heftier" buddies have a time with it....

Kracker posted a pic of a pilothouse centerconsole in my rebuild thread. Ridge also posted a pic of an enclosed console Everglades. Now, using wood as a core, could i duplicate that? My console will be built into the enclosure. They wont be two separate pieces.
