That's right...it's 25" from the top of the transom notch to the bottom
of the boat at the transom. How the hell do you think transom height is
measured?
What's the distance between the top of the transom notch and the
waterline?

I posted how transom height on bracketless outboard boats is measured.
I understand. *My question was what is the distance between the top of the
notch and the waterline?

Dunno...never measured that. More than the distance between the notch on
Tom's boat and the waterline.
More important for salt water use is the height above the waterline at
the bow and along the hullsides.
Some time ago, I mentioned that Tom's boat would fit inside mine and
disappear, except for the top of his console. Now that I know that
Ranger has a 20" transom, I am even more sure of it. Even my old SeaPros
had 25" transoms.
No wonder Tom made such an issue over a low transom. * :)- Hide quoted text -

You are fudging the facts again. Toms boat has a second transom in
front of the motorwell. This avoids the "Mr. Potato Head" option of a
waterboard Pawkah settled for.. Besides, Toms boat is sold as a Bay
Boat, and is better suited for it's intended use than 'Mr. (YoHo)
Potato Head" is for open water
Idiot. How high is that second transom? High enough to stop a flood of
water coming over the stern? Nope. It's about the same height as the
actual transom.

Your boy Tom spent about a year poking fun at the transom of a boat *far
more seaworthy than his.

Again, you are fudging the facts, his boat is a BayBoat... Seaworthy
enough for it's intended use. His boat is up to date, and not some 50
yo lines, with a deep vee and a huge hole in the transom to make up
for it.. Like I said, "Mr. Potato Head"...

Go play with your dinghies, idiot.

You haven't a clue in this discussion...

Learn how to paint, while you are at it. Buy a roll of masking tape.

Sure I do, and much more about dinghies too. For instance, why would I
use masking tape to seal a workskiff... It's just a tool, not an art
project...
