Yep...standard 25" lower unit. I stated many months ago at the very
beginning of the silliness about that transom that the photos were
deceiving. But this *is* rec.boats, so ill-informed silliness abounds.


I was thinking that your boat's natural buoyancy would clear most of
the occasional "big" water over the stern through the cutout even when
dead in the water, and the scuppers would handle the rest.
Hypotheticals are tricky. It would be fun, or at least instructive to
try many in practice. But also very expensive.

I've been slammed by some big wakes from cruisers, and typically the
stern just rides up and down the crests.
