Bemm,

I', likely asking a dumb question here, but - will you use an outboard on that tall transom?

Jack, there's another panel that needs to be installed. That transom is only about 10" high.

Your not the first to ask that Jack........They think it will have an electric.but the transom is quiet small as Matt says.

I'd prefer something with more grunt 8) ...
