although i cant help you, i understand what you are going threw. ive had a spine surgery and shoulder surgery all the while in the middle of a boat project. have spent countless $$$$.$$ on trying to get it rite. the bad thing is that people take advantage of you when you are in this way. choose your help wisely, yor disadvantage is the word 'bayliner'. i love them i have a trophy and had a 18ft cobra. they are great boats.<br /> try the project boat section of this forum and also go to search, type in transom repair or along that line and you should get some use full info. also for clearnce dont forget you can let some air out of tires. just my thoughts. good luck!!!!!!!!

I don't quite understand what you mean by "help".<br />I live in Milwaukee. Email me your phone number and we can talk.<br />Mark
