Hey animal chris, Thanks for the response. I have a 1973 23 sceptre. The boat is a little heavier in the front ( a bit more heavy than the center consoles) also I cut out the rear baitwell and sealed the area.( to remove extra stern weight). I have a 225 yamaha mounted on the transom 25'' and I have not experienced any problems with water over the transom. The boat sits real nice . Guess I will leave it as is! Thanks Marc
