I just completed my repower/mid-life refit. She runs like a champ.

Looks good! How much is the Transdaptor? I kind of like the idea...Is it hollow or are there reinforcements on the section where the notch is?

Nice, slick installation. The motor and the boat both look great. Good job, you have a beautiful classic Whaler. Enjoy!

Looks good. The adapter gives extra strength to the lifting eyes as well.

Thanks. The transdapter was not cheap ($475) but it was easy to install and fits well. It is hollow with internal reinforcements. It is very strong and shows no sign of flexing. Overall I prefer the transdapter over building up the transom but that is just me.

How does the plate fill the notch/void? I do like it how it includes the two lifting rings. Did the kit come with longer studs for the lifting rings or is that something you had to get like stainless-all thread. Was this a manufactured item or did you have an metal shop make it up for you?

The transdaptor was made by Kentfab http://kentfabrications.com/Marine.html (note: This is a new url for Kentfab.). It is a stock item that they sell. It stides into the notch with a little help and through bolts. I added the lifting eyes and yes I had to buy new stainless threaded rod to fit due to the added thickness of the transdaptor.
