Not very good on computer need help posting pix Got lots of pix and ideas thinking about full transom and engine bracket what do ya'll think

[Lombard]

More for sure.

An engine bracket moves the engine weight aft, so check with Graham about balance etc before going that way. I like the bracket on my frozen snot boat because of the full transom. Harder to swamp the boat with a rear entry rouge wave when you have full transom. At least once a season on the Carolina coast a boat gets pooped with wave coming through the notched transom.

Thanks, I have a email into Graham waiting to here from him, I think if I move fuel tanks forward it may be ok

Rusty,

Wow, you're doing a great job on the boat! Couple of questions: Really like the rear coolers/live wells. Are you installing drains for them? If so, where will they drain to? Also, you mentioned that you're installing a 4' bench. I presume along the stern, just in front of the cooler/live well and engine area?

This boat is gonna look great!
