Far foward. And my bracket is a seamount. Not hermco.. Aluminum. At 160 pounds.. The transom is laminated 3/4 ply with 1/4" foam. Then 4- 5 layers of 1708 total thickness of about 2.5".. I would like a flip top and swing out door.not a solid top and say doggy door

Transom door
 

Anybody build on on 23 cc

I forget the user name but one of the Cape Cod guys put one in a 23 inboard. Search the repairs/modifications forum and you should find it. Sorry I can't be more specific.

Also check the Hermco site in past projects. He had one he did with a tuna door on the port side of a SeaCraft and it was real nice.

I did one on my inboard, search my name and you should find it. any questions feel free to ask. Ive also seen a door on a 23' with a bracket and single engine but not twins.

Nice work and like the name.. Hell on reels.. Thanks Guys .. I think I need to try it just need to see where she will sit in the water when done with restore.. then maybe cut it out then..

You need to beef some things up first. Todd`s thread shows it.
