Hey guys & gals!
My first post so I'll introduce myself.
I live in Forked River NJ and have 3 boats (16' Baja I/O Bowrder, 17 Mako CC 90 O/B, and 25 Mako CC twin O/B) that I am currently working on. I'd like to get one in the water this winter and the other 2 are projects. I consider myself a novice to boating and boating repairs so any and all advise is welcome.
This question is about my 25 Mako. I have twin 200 Yamahas and a fairly new open transom. My question is would it be OK to mount a bracket to the existing transom and close the existing transom sort of using a fake transom.
I'd rather not rebuild the whole thing considering that it is practically new. I think the boat would run faster and dryer with a bracket and closed transom. thoughts?
Thanks!
