Notched Transom purpose?
 

What is the purpose of having a notched transom? I see them on a few boats and hear that some people have to fill them in to change out to different types of drives..

I believe it allows you to feed water to drives set at a higher X.

its like a built in set back box. Higher drive height = less drag = more speed.

Aha.. That makes sense.. So is notching the transom a feasable upgrade or is that way too involved for a boat that didn't come from the factory that way?

:eek: did you call Peter ?? he'd tell ya'll leave well enuf alone :drink:

no no no, its not for the Skater.. That damn thing does NOT need to go any faster than it is.. Just been looking at some project boats and trying to educate myself a little on their setups.

Not a good idea IMO.
