This is a full boat restoration video of my Key Largo 236cc where I have been debating for a long time about open transom vs closed transom on a boat.
After closing in my boat transom with coosa board I have to say that I don't think I'll ever go back to an open transom. A closed transom lets no water in and it's a much more dry and comfortable ride. Physically and mentally
Not only did I close in the transom of my boat but I also added an engine bracket. Or a dive platform because it's a huge bracket. Let's just call it an engine dive bracket because it's so big.
You're probably wondering. Is an engine bracket worth it? Will an engine bracket make my boat faster or slower? I do a full before and after review on the performance speed results of adding a engine bracket to a boat.
It did turn out I had a rotten transom so this is also a new transom restoration video. It's a 2 in 1. I close in the transom and install a engine bracket to the South Florida Fishing Channel boat!
I am running a 2020 Evinrude G2 engine 250 HO and I'm happy with the results of the dive platform engine bracket. I was worried the boat might handle weird and different but I think it handles just as good as before and the ride is even better. The bow rides a little higher at speeds under 30mph so it keeps us a bit more dry on rough days.
