More people enjoy following than you realize. Seems as time has past members don't comment as much as they used to in the past. I wouldn't say it was a waist of time as if you ever sell the hull the documenting on here will be priceless for selling the hull for a good fair price. I think a lot on here has been documented over the years and most answers to questions can be searched and found but it would be nice to see more activity on the board.

Anyone have an unmolested MA with a 20" transom. I cannot find my measurements for the original mounting heig]ht for outboard bolts. I need the distance between the arrows.

[FishStretcher]

Yes. But I can't see your picture very well. What do you need?

[lelandtampa]

Top of transom measured straight down to the upper motor mounting bolts?

[DonV]

Leland, Google "engine mounting template". 2" seems to be the number.
