Transom Style Question
 

I am trying to come up with a plan for the transom of my '71 Seafari 20. It was an inboard/outboard and will be converted to outboard. The transom is shot so it will be recored. Should I go with a notched transom instead of a full transom and bracket? I am looking for the simplest/quickest rebuild so thinking the notch.

I am sure if I search I can find out all the details for replacing the transom once I decide which way to go. Height of notch, glass layup, core material, etc.

I am leaning towards the Suzuki 350 for power, but haven't ruled out the Yamaha 350 or Verado 400.



Gotcha! Power will probably be a 150 of some variation; Zuke, Merc 4S, Opti or even an E-tec. :)

Full transom. If you are going in to it this deep go all the way. Don't look back later and say...."I wish I had done........"

So 300-350 on a 20'?

You won’t regret the extra room a bracket will give you.
