[QUOTE="Cheeseball, post: 86867, member: 838"] One thing to consider if your going to attach the oak riser to the inside of the boat is how far the bracket on your motor comes down on the outside of the transom. On mine, I considered attaching the riser to the inside of the boat but in order for the bracket to clear the top of the original transom I would have had to raise the motor about 6.5". Doing that would have raised the cavitation plate on the bottom of the motor above the bottom of the boat. [-X I only want to raise my motor 5" so I had to attach mine to the outside of the boat. I will reinforce with metal angles that will come off the shoulders of the riser and attach either to the gunnels or the back of the back seat. [/QUOTE]
