[QUOTE="Weldorthemagnificent, post: 441522, member: 22139"] Can make a transom higher with a couple pieces of aluminum, 1/4" thick is good. And a piece of wood in between. Bolt it through the transom and hang the motor on. Make your aluminum plates double your height below existing. For example, if you are planning to raise 4", make the plates at least 12" so that 8" is below the existing transom. If you can spare a few bucks, have your top and top 4" of the sides capped and welded to make one solid unit. I've seen this done and works fine. As for the hydrofoil, I am a fan of them. Helps plane faster, allows slower planing speeds and is more forgiving with weight distribution. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
