Re: How bad is this?
It looks to me as if the transom height was raised 5" or so, compared to most of the boats I have seen. My guess is they had to, because 2 of those motors are close to 900 pounds, and would bury the back end of that boat with the stock transom height. It should have knee braces to the bottom of the hull, and tied very strongly to the floor. Have you sea trialed it? how was the balance, and where was the floor compared to the water line at rest. Looking at the rabud scuppers, my guess is the floor is below the waterline when standing still. I would put it in the water, and throw a couple of 5 gal buckets on the deck and see if it drains ok. Does it drain overboard? or into the bilge?
