I read a post from a fella on another forum were the guy "VaGent"(much like myself) did a complete rebuild on an older pontoon. The photos of his boat look just like mine. The transom is inset between the 2 "U" shaped logs. I want to extend it out more like modern set ups.
now..... I have a brand new transome rated to 200 hp. Its about 7 inches longer than original. Any educated guessess on how far past flush with rear of logs I should, could, or can go? Gaining 2 solid feet of rear deck space doing this move will be great. And Im remote locating my fuel tank and batteries closer to mid vessel to better distribute weight on the more narrow older logs.
Im looking for clean water for my new Mercury 115 Command Thrust Pro XS to bite into.
Thanks
