Boat is a 1997 Four Winns 258 vista. Has a 7.4L volvo with an sx-m outdrive. My transom was rotted so I'm at the tail end of replacing it and thought, hey let's measure my thickness. I'm just under 2" and still have to put 1708 on the inside of the transom.. am I going to be too thick?? I cannot...
