Re: Raising transom to 25\"
Dan,
Just to jump in on the engine thread, I put a Suzki 115 on the back of my '72 20 footer. Initially I was concerned that it wouldn't be enough power, but that certainly wasn't the case. It cruises happily at about 30 and has enough power to pop the boat right on plane. Plus, its light weight takes a load off the transom. Sure, a 150 would probably push it along at about 45, but unless it's flat calm (and how often do we see that in New England) you'd be airborne half the time and hanging on with white knuckles.
I'd also go with the full transom replacement...
