Finster,
I have about decided that I will not do anything until I can look at and try out the exact setup that I intend to implement. The transom on my boat is just a little tired (250 hp 472#'s, no real rot or water penetration). The rig right now is really well hooked up. I just would like a little more room, and a little less water slooshing around in the splash well. I am working on a design that I want to implement back there, and when I get done with the drawings, I will post it. I'm thinking of putting in a removable insert fish box/live well back above the splashwell, and a fold up convertable bench/jump seat in front. I'm also looking at some options with the live well in the floor. Drainage and balance are 2 important factors. Also toying with the idea of relocating 1 or both of the batteries.
