I raised the transom to 25inches and am putting a carbed
Yam 150 on a 1971 222. Was planning on bolting it onto the
transom.
The glass guy that is helping me is telling to consider closing off
the transom and putting on a bracket. The standard 29inch one.
I love the protection that it gives and the look,and the double wide one
will be a nice swim platform but am concerned about
how it would affect the ride. My 55 gal . tank is pretty much under where
the above deck tank went, maybe a bit forward. The front of the console seat will double as a livewell and cooler. I still need to position the console. I may put a bigger livewell behind the leaning post occassionally(removable).
The last thing I want is the boat to porpoise or the hull to slap underway. What's the truth on these brackets. People are sometimes quiet on the downside. Want to hear the good and bad.. Thanks..Ray
