Well for those who didn't see the ealier post....I still have transom problems with my 1999 25' SeaCraft (I know she is not a classic, but she'll have to be re-built like one.

If I can get her though the summer, if I don't have to do it sooner, I plan to do-away with the euro transom....close the back of the boat and add a bracket to hold a pair of motors.

I feel pretty good with what I plan to do to the boat, but I am unsure which route to go with the bracket. I feel I could build one that would suite my needs, but would it be worth the effort....could a manufactured one serve me just as well.

I would like for it to have the swim platform and most definitly have floatation.

One reason I was thinking about building one was because I want the the LOA to be at least 28' when finished. The boat is 25'6" now, so I only need 2.5' to be there.

I am trying to get a solid plan laid out in advance so when I start the project I can get it done a reasonable time frame.

So....should I build or buy...any pros or cons on either choice?

BTW-I plan to hang 400hp on the back of her too....I might think about a pair of 225hp, but the stock hull is only rated to 400hp?!?!? I'm not sure if they would warranty 225's or not?!?!?
