Transom height for SC20 Master Angler

[Chaser]

I checked into the jack plate idea and I am not convinced it accomplishes what I want to do. It would get the powerhead out of the water further, which is good, but it does nothing for the actual transom height and keeping out water, I would still have to install some sort of splash guard for this purpose.

I talked with one of my tech's this morning and we have a plan to raise the transom. Shouldn't be too much work and my feeling from the input here is that if I don't I'll wish I had.

Thanks for all the prompt feedback on this! I'll be sure to take some pics of the process and post here when the boat is complete!
