I've been working offshore, as I'm in the oil and gas industry, for the past month and its given me alot of time to think my plans over and research.
I am still on the fence about closing the transom and installing a full bracket. My other two options are to raise to 25" of course or essentially do a closed transom but only close it where the engine well is now and still put some what of a bracket with a much smaller setback.
I want to put a yammi 4stroke 150 or even a 200 as the weight difference is negligible or an e-tec g2. Yammi prefered as that is what we have already on a few whalers and service in the area is phenomenal.
I live in Nova Scotia, Canada, so I don't do any runs offshore like most of you do, but the weather can get very nasty very quick here when running between bays and islands. This boat will be more of an island/beach runner with light fishing capabilities. We have proper 42 footers for that! Haha
Any thoughts on my ideas and thoughts
