To Raise or Not to Raise my Transom, that is my question.

[CHANCE1234]

If your 42 year old transom is solid, then you are extremely lucky or the boat sat in a garage for 20 years. This is a no brainier, but don't feel bad I asked the same question last year for the same year and boat you have. I raised to 25 and would have hated some days out there in a 20 inch transom. It's not a huge cost, more time than money really. Unless you only fish back rivers or ponds you'll want 25". Do it!
