Anthony - Is your transom 20" or 25". I would imagine you probably have a 20" transom if it's original. The original splash gate eats up a lot of room. You might just get a 8" wide PVC board and glue it (4200) in place or if you want something fancier . . . make a new splash gate out of fiberglass. I wouldn't move the console and T top unless you want to patch a bunch of holes. Some big group 27 batteries under the front seat of the console will help. I used to have a 18 seacraft with almost the same engine.
