The transom was already closed in when I bought it. The guy I got the boat from was a finatic about stuff. I still have his phone number and may be able to get that info for you if and when you are ready to do it. I think I may still have the phone number to the new owner as well. I will have to look and see. Let me know if you want those numbers and I will try to dig them up for you.

On the floatation, yes, it would be enough though the one that was on the boat could have used a little more on the bottom end to give it some more lift while at rest. It worked for me without any problems. The only thing I would have done differently would have been to mount the ladder on the underside of the bracket like my new boat is. That works much better then the one that was on the other boat. That is definitely a change I would have made if I had known better.
