Well I have started mocking up new transom . Going back with 1 1/2 tubing instead of wood . Took it from a 21 in transom to a 15 . Not sure of the motor yet but it will be a short shaft tiller so no need for the tall transom. Not sure of lay out if the rest of the boat but probably be a open floor ....here is a before and now

And yea I am going to put a brace to the floor

I would have waited until I know what motor I was going to put on it before changing the transom height.
Nice work though.

I cut it 15 so the shortest will fit and if I go with a longer shaft I will build a jack plate...if I wasn't doing the welding myself yea i would have waited but I can redo and make it how I want for just the price of material

Keep it light and a 50 would make that baby rip! Where are you using it and what are you targeting?

Mainly Cordell hull lake here in middle Tenn. I mainly catfish,sauger and crappie fish so thats what I am setting it up for

Did you find a motor for it?

cphill · Apr 2, 2015

Yea a Johnson 5.5 61 model...not fast but where I am using it will work for now

I like the new transom so far. If you don't mind me asking, about how much was the work on the transom?

cphill · Apr 2, 2015

Removing the old one was the hardest part . Building the New one took just little while to lay out and weld up

cphill · Apr 2, 2015

If u mean money wish 60 dollars in aluminum and about3 of my lunch breaks

cphill · Apr 7, 2015

Got most of the welding done last Friday
