    So whats the height of the total transom? Are you going to mount a long shaft or short shaft motor. short shaft your will need 20". What are you figuring at total weight to float at your designed dispalcement. Are you getting about 550-600 PPI?
    Not only do I figure the Weight of the people but I also place my fuel tank on top of the LCB.
