Thoughts, pros, cons to raising transom to 25”?

[phatdaddy]

What is your engine shaft length? Primarily freshwater, lake use or open water?

If you have a choice, bigger is better

Unless you already have a good 20" motor that you plan to use...in a lake...

25" is the answer

25" is the answer

My motor is a 20” 150 Merc OB with a late 80’s power head. Never plan to fish freshwater. Open bay and inshore fishing will be the primary use.

25 is the way to go if your on the ocean My opinion). my experience with these boat in the past was only when they sunk. they sunk from water over that 20 " transom after going 4 stroke. Also gives you more options with power.


Dont know if you know that spraying down the wet wood with
Isopropyl alcohol will dry it out and release it from the resin. 99% works best but 75% of the shelf in walmart works too.
