26 Outlaw Transom Angle
 
I was wondering if anyone in the know has the transom angle of the 26 Outlaw line?

Thanks in advance for the help. :drink:

You trying to figure out if the extension box is going to add or subtract from your prop height?

That is correct.

I am also considering going with the IMCO 3 up if it will work... the CMI's may be a limiting factor with the hatch clearance if I raise the motor 3 inches.

I'd go with -2 shorty before I'd raise the motor.

That is what others have said as well and I will more than likely go with that set up.

Just hope to get a transom angle so I know exactly what will happen when everything is put together.

I gained a inch putting extension boxes on mine. Total of 3" with -2 shorties.

It's probably the standard 13 or 13.5 as most boats, but you can also measure it yourself. I think you just need a straight edge coming off the bottom of the hull, and then put a straight edge or board against the transom, and see what the angle is.

You could also take a piece of plywood and mock up the cross section of what the extension box is - 13ºin 13º out (or whatever it is) and flush it up against the transom and see where your drive will be.

That is what I am hoping for. I was getting worried when some were saying I would loose an inch.

That is a good idea, but hopefully someone will post the answer saying the angle is 11.583º or something like that. :drink: :drink:

+1 Raising them 3 inches creates a lot of issues you might not have thought about yet... Such as issues with the inner transom plate and exhaust and its all a pain in the a$$.

I don't think your going to be that lucky. Everyone I know thats done it on a Baja has either been even or gained. Only other option is to go with the Stellings adjustable box.

Be careful as having it too deep isn't good neither is having it too high.
