Re: transom questions
I bought a 1966 20 bowrider with an I/O. Original
plan was to turn into CC. Previous boat was 1971 20 CC. My three kids(smaller at the time) loved their own little area. Removed I/O (still running),covered w/non skid lid for storage,closed in transom using marine plywood and several layers of glass. I decided on the Armstrong Wide Body bracket which adds 100 lbs of
lift for the motor and an excellent dive platform. I purchased a new left over 97 175 Johnson Ocean Runner in 98. After completing the total restoration I had it newly rigged from front to back.Added fin to counter bow lift. IT HAS BEEN WONDERFUL. I could have sold it 1000 times.Gettin ready to sell. Lookin for another 20CC. I've got that tower fever. Wife thinks I've lost it. Now that I've finally got salt wash down,stereo system,69# Great White sep. batts,GPS,DF/FF,spray hood, bimini,cushions,VHF,court. lts and the kitchen sinf it's time to start over. Good Luck
