Thanks Guy's I will post pictures of it on the water once they are done, I was out of the water since 2011, unbelievable took awhile to get my life back together after a series of events. Looking for to the future and happy days on the water again.
You're gonna love that Atlas Marine jack plate too man! Got one on my 19' skiff, amazing shallow water maneuverability. Thought about putting one on the V as well.
Good questions Brad. Yes the transom is 20 inches they recommend the jack plate, as for the prop and water pickup I have no idea. I will update you once I get the boat hopefully later this week.
They told me they have to water test and prop as necessary on the lake.
