1978 23' potter restoration in progress. Transom questions

[kmoose]

Pull and toss the deck up to the step and replace with 3/4 Nidacore. Add runners to raise the deck 2.5-3". Transom build: double 3/4 Coosa Bluewater 26 tabbed into the floor.

I would also consider a Hermco twins outboard bracket. They were designed to fit our boats and you never have to deal with corrosion issues. It also lets you go with a 30" motor. Bracketed boats are notorious for holding the motors low in the water. 30" motor stays high and dry and looks fine.
