Transom Retro
I love my boat, with one exception, the deck gets wet when it's choppy. The way the McKee 196CC transom is cut (see pic of boat with previous owner), even with plugs in the scuppers, the waves will splash over on occassion. One way valves on the scuppers would help somewhat, but putting the motor on a bracket and filling in that transom would be the permanent fix.
On a boat of this size, I have no idea if that's worth it, whether I'd then be forced into all new cables and what it would do to overall performance. Just wishing for dry boots this time of year, during the summer I don't mind it at all and it's usually not a problem as I rarely anchor up. This time of year anchoring up it's noticable and since I hate rubber boots when it's really cold, you really need to keep up the waterproofing on the hunting boots.
Curious if anyone has any exerience, what something like this entails and whether it produces more performance issues than it solves..
