Hey we have all been where you are at....shoot I'm still there!!!! I did an Arjay transom and am very happy with the results, I learned a lot of things I wish I knew before I started, however the end result was good. I did not go up to a 30" transom, just like you going from a 20 to a 25, and in hind site I wish I had done it. I guess because I'm a "cheap bastard" and prefer to do things myself I tackled it on my own. I learned a few things on the "not to do list" and as luck would have it, most turned out actually like it was supposed to. One thing I would have done differently was to make a grid of fiberglass re-bar, suspend it between the front and back transom skin and poured the Arjay over that, think of it as pouring concrete with re-bar and wire to add structure. Oh yeah, if you go with Arjay.....NO leaks, NO leaks.....ask me how I know. Good luck!!
