Yah, that boat needs a higher transom for sure. Kinda defeats the whole high gunnel idea with that low transom.
I personally will never buy another boat unless it is a least a 20 inch transom.

I don't understand.
I know I'm kinda dumb, and a small lake old guy from rural Wisconsin, but that low of a transom is almost like a hole in the hull.
What would be the purpose of manufacturing that hull design? Only thing that comes to mind is a short shaft OB, and even then, wouldn't following waves bite you in the butt?
'Splain, please, if you would.

Wind catcher indeed! My 28" sides may as well be sails in wind. Also, it has a 20" transom. I don't know why they keep transoms in the 15-20" range when the sides are higher.....only thing I can think of, is it's easier to find motors in that range, unless you live near big water where 25" shafts are the norm

You would be better with a tall transom and transom bracket!

I've known a few people that cut down the transom to accommodate the motor they have.

The thinking is that if you take water over the bow, it can run out the back, over the transom.
If you go to thehulltruth.com and search for notched transom vs euro transom there are about 1 million posts....

The boat can't hold enough water to sink it.
