another vote for go 25"
Chaser, I redid my 20 ft. Seafari transom a few years back, and because I had a good condition 20" motor, I stayed with the 20" transom. I have been out in the rough more than a few times where I regret that decision. Even in fairly calm conditions, backing down on a fish, I get water over the transom, enough that I ended up building my own splashwell box, a rough copy of the Sea Craft original the guys were talking about.
I'll give you another strong vote for going 25", and would even go 30" if you could do it to the motor.
Seas blow up at funny times, sometimes with un-funny results.
that's my .02, anyways.
Merry Christmas,
Bill
