‘74 20’ SF new transom

[DonV]

Very nice results....now the fun part. To answer your question I only have experience on the 23'er with a manual jack plate. If you are at 27" on your transom I'd try the engine without the jack plate, then if you wanted you could put on the jack plate later. I think at 27" you should be able to get the engine mounted perfectly, my 25" was just too low, by about 2" of course, and I went with the 6" plate.

Thank you Don

Some pics with T-top finally mounted. Been putting some hours on the E-TEC, very happy with the performance and especially the fuel economy

Beautiful work, I'm in the middle of a similar project on the same boat! I am planning on running oval suppers out of the back of the transom but not raising the deck height, what did you do for scuppers? How high did you raise the transom, and has the jackplate helped at all?
