Tough call on the transom replacement question. However, if you do replace it, definitely raise it another 5 inches. Those boats sit so low in the back that any more height you can add to the splash well is a good thing. Plus it will get the engine further away from the water. So many members have gone through this already that you'll find a wealth of information if you use the search function. And if you provide the beer, you may find some of them will even come help you.
