I wonder what draft I would get with a notched transom / jackplate set up?

Also, unsure if I would need a 20" or 25" shaft motor?

John,
Thanks for the transom pics!

Raybo,
I'm the same way I would like to keep as much of the original transom as possible, and would also like to use the sides for storage. What kind of design were you thinking of?

Cam, I like your work. I was thinking how I could incorporate a livewel into the design, so that definitely gives me some ideas. A 200 hp G2 would be pretty sweet, I did come across a 175 etec with low hours for a reasonable price, so I may go that route at first then upgrade to the G2 later on. The...

I would be concerned about not being able to t...

The cap is also in good shape, it looks like some cracking on the gellcoat fwd of the windshield around the hatch, but it seems mostly like sun damage. I will post some...

I am about to take the plunge and purchase a '68 B20 Moppie and start with a restore. The previous owner pulled out the i/o and re glassed the transom and at one time had a bracket with twin outboards. Now the transom is bare so it's pretty much a blank canvas.
