    Raising Transom

    Depends on how u raised the trsnsom. If u just added 5 inches to existing transom, u would probably need to add “knees” to tie all that together. If u replaced all the transom with a new 25” transom, i would think it would be OK. Post Pictures

    What are they?

    Funny you mention sturgeon, friend of mine was wade fishing for trout last week, had a 6 ft sturgeon swim right by him. Scared the bejesus out of him. First thing he thought was shark, then he saw the back and thought gator. He said that was worse than a shark. Then he realized what it was.
