This is way down the line but I have always been curious and in other rebuilds I have never seen a clear cut decision on this. Thanks for the help as always.

Yes that would be the easiest to do it.

No and yes to those questions but IMHO it would be better to bite the bullet and make it a 25 inch transom or better yet bracket and full transom while you have it all tore apart.
