Does the transom need to be done? Regardless of height----.

Yes, I would say so. As I stated in my original post - a lot of wet peatmoss coming out of holes and water weeping out. There are also stress cracks on the inside of the splashwell.

Currently, there isn't really any flex when I try to bounce the motor - BUT - I do not want to let it get that bad/ risk it. We spearfish and hopefully will be running it hard this summer, so I would rather put it out of commission now(before Grouper opens).

So besides the cost of the transom, you have the extension. Hmmmmmmm.
In the long run, you are better off with a 25" transom, besides safety, resale, etc.
I guess what I am saying is, If you did the transom, do it 25".
