thank you. I havent had it out in flat conditions yet. Every day so far has been windy and choppy. Its really hard to tell since it looks like the plate "might" be too high be maybe an inch. I'll need to get it out a few more times before deciding. Thanks again!

What did you use to seal the exposed wood in the transom?
Hopefully we'll have everything ready to go by next weekend! My need to get list is:
1. marine VHF
2. Bimini top. Need to measure the width of the boat before ordering
3. fishing pole holders
4. lights
5. anchor
Railblaza seems to be the go-to accessory mount so ill be using that for both...
