NOTCHED TRANSOM?

yeah blue. thats what i was thinkin. only i have no idea what to ask for my stuff, or where to find a good deal on a motor.i got all my stuff on trade or by luck. afraid i will get rid of a good running motor and end up stuck with a POS. i like schools idea about of filling transom and using bracket. then i could run my 150. but that is a lot of work. and not much gained. the way my 92 is layed out i wouldnt gain any space inside. and on my buddies proline with bracket stopping and starting in shallow water is a real pain. would that be a prob with v20. also what about my kicker and trolling motor?where will i mount them? answer me this, about how much should i ask for a stainless marine bracket w/ platforms? used with few scratches?tx
