Raising transom to lift motor

[bugman]

Hello all,
Had a mate rock up to the pontoon at the house on Sunday to show of his new boat - big pressed hull CC tinnie (6m). He wanted to ask my thoughts as to why it was throwing so much water up at the back. To cut a long story short the motor is way to low - about 5 inches. The block is only 25cms above the water line. The motor is already in the bottom bottom holes - lifted up so high there's a two inch gap between the transom support and the bottom of the motor bracket now. In other words it can't physically go up any higher. Whoever built the boat needs a kick in the pants. The motor is 115 Yammie V4 two stroke.
Anyway - he needs the motor bracing section of the transom built up - at least 5-6 inches. Anyone here done it? Anyone got photos? Anyone recommend somewhere on the Gold Coast who would do it? Alloy Boat builder? Alloy welder?
Thanks in advance.
Brett

could it be a XL(25") motor on a L(20") transom?

Alloy welder ...won't cost much fill in , mate just got his done for about 200 , reason being is the boat has sunk , they retrieved it out of 20 m of water .can't for the life of me see how boat builders put such low transoms in ...

The transom length is not a builder 'design" it is governed by motor leg lengths, there is only a few lengths available, and in some HP the selection is only 2.
