Apparently everybody is buying boats because of the virus, idk? I called a southfork dealer to get a custom boat made, spoke with him and never heard back. Called Gailen himself from southfork. He sounded like a good guy but after emailing him what I wanted and telling him I’m ready to get the...

Finally got ahold of the guys at Alweld. They said they measure from the top of the tunnel to the top of the boat. So that makes things clear. On a long transom the long shaft engine cav plate will be level with the top of the tunnel. Now the question is should I go with a long or short transom...
