The 19’ 1985 Galaxy cuddly cabin has the usual rot in the transom and stringers. We would like to replace the 3.0 Mersruiser with one or two outboards. A bracket for the motor(s) would require total transom and stringer renovation and probably some bracing here and there. Would it be feasible to install a new transom forward of the existing transom, remove the existing one and replace it with a second transom/motor board with the correct angle and cutout for the outboard? The hull would have to be trimmed to suit and the tabbing would not be real smooth but we could live with that. I realize that there are lots of issues involved in this scheme including bracing to the stringers, engine controls and so on. Anybody ever try this? Any comments, suggestions?
