Didn't think I was being an ass as you mentioned you were replacing the transom anyway. I think it's a good looking boat and it caught my eye from quite a distance. I like a lot of the things the previous owner did (the big scuppers are nice!), however it did not look like much care was taken to do some of it right (probably why the transom has already failed). It's nice to know that the boat is in the hands of someone who is willing to fix it and do it right. I like the idea of the extending the running surface back, it should give a little extra flotation and will most likely make the boat ride like it's 2 feet bigger (mostly because it will be 2 feet of so longer), gapping the waves better. Does your glass guy plan on glassing the bottom of the bracket to the bottom of the hull? Also how will your drain plug work now? Will you have to pull a plug in the boat and in the bracket? I know thatt on most standard bracket installs that is not an issue.
