Shake down cruise with new transom.

[Gary H NC]

The new transom is great,rock solid and engine does not move a bit.
I also noticed that i have no vibration through the steering any more.

Only problems, The transducer kicks a rooster tail up.I need to adjust that up a bit.
Only getting 32 mph at 5200 rpm WOT. Had my buddy drive while i hung over the back and the cav plate is still under water about an inch.
So i guess i'll raise the engine another hole.I have 2 more holes to go.

I put it through the paces with hard turns and full throttle take offs and the transom never budged! The Seacast seems to be the stuff..

It was nice to be back on the water...

Thanks for the review on seacast. I may be redoing a transom this winter. Given your experience, it's still high on the list of options.

Congrats, looks like that cheap boat is going to be a good one. boy, for what you've got you have a very small investment.

Glad to hear it all went well. I still can't get over the before and after pictures. It really does look like a new boat. Good to know that seacast is rock solid. Mine should be arriving next week sometime. ​

Thanks Esox! Good luck. I think you will be happy with it.

I did have a couple people at the ramp looking at my old boat. Even the SeaTow guy liked it..
