Re: Durabak as a Spray-on Material on Deck Surface

I do plan on using the marine line of Durabak. I was planning on using a light grey.

Re: Raising 15-inch Transon on Older 13-footer

I can buy either a 15-inch or 20-inch shaft engine.

Raising 15-inch Transon on Older 13-footer

I am refurbishing a 13-footer that has the original notched transom for a 15-inch-shaft engine. I will be putting on a new Yamaha F25 which weighs 126-lbs.

Shoud the transom be kept at original height?

Should a Kent Fab insert be used to raise the height for a 20-inch-shaft ehgine?
