G;day

I'm not familliar with these power/weight ratings on this particular hull but I imagine you wish to beef up the ransom to take the 75 rude?

Go and have a talk with a shipwright if that is the case.

I know Gav (gavsgonefishing) put up a great post on the extension of the transom on his 80s model Markham Whaler. Have a search under Markham under Boating.

there is a great thread in this forum on rebuilding an aluminium transom.
the member (sorry can't remember who it was - i did a search but not successful) got fisher boats to do the work and it is an excellent job.

great thread with lots of progress photos that would be of interest to you i think.

maybe somone can post the link?
