    Right. It seems now that everything is at the rear and should shift forward some. The transom has proof of twin outboard use in a previous life. But I dont know any more yet. The inboard and the center console were a decently done home shop affair after the fact.

    Not sure what the military did for OB. The tall flat transom does not lend itself at all.

    What is the height of the transom?

    What is the difference between racing, cleaver and sp props? Different ads imply theyre interchangable. Hardly any sp's on ebay. Lots of racing and cleaver.

    The cleavers are made to work in cavitating or ventilated mode, That is for high performance usually. Blade type and number are designed for specific uses or for general purpose use. Unless you have some specific use in mind, like high speed, towing, etc. a general purpose propeller is the best choice.

    Yes, and to work properly they have to be matched.
