[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 516418, member: 21536"] Great minds think alike. Others have done what you describe. Using angle for a riser is even commercially available (see below from T-H Marine). I like your idea of using a 2x board across the top of the transom. You don't mention size of boat & outboard. Obviously you will need to use beefy angle. How much do you need to raise the motor? If it is a clamp on motor, can you temporarily shim it up to see if it is a worthwhile change? [ATTACH]121260[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
