Raising transom to 25"

[dcobbett]

Bigshrimpin,

Do you think I can bolt on a 25" shaft and set it up a few holes to set the plate near where it should be relative to the hull without getting into too many problems or lose to much performance from the engine?

thedink,

Thanks for that info. I'll follow up on the ads.

Roger,

Thanks. It is a good feeling to have the boat in the driveway. The trailer towed great; no problems at all, except I now know what some people are talking about when they discuss road/pavement induced harmonics. I dealt with that for about 40 miles eastbound on RT 78 between Harrisburg and Allentown, PA. The trailer would start bouncing up and down, and I had to slow to 40-45mph to get it to stop. The problem seemed worse if I was in a sag curve in the road's profile. Don't know if there was just enough added compression in those conditions or what was going on. It was an old concrete road surface that had been paved over (bituminous concrete) and hadn't been well maintained. East of Allentown, the road's surface was in better shape, and the problem seemed to go away.
