I put one 3/4" marine ply on the transom between those two up and down bumps in the glass on the transom. Then made an alum plate and 5200'd it in place.
Hello. I have a 1993 Boston Whaler Rage 14. I took out the jet Engine and lost it. I want to adapt a 60 HP Yamaha 4T. Can yo help me? my email adrees is JLSURIANI@BALCHIC.COM
Great conversion job. Been looking for a 15` Rage for a while now. If I could find one with a bad/no engine and a cheap price it would be mine. Bob Kemmler said his porpoised with an outboard. I don`t see why if it was set up rite.
I'm finishing up a conversion on a 14' Rage now. I used a lot of the ideas (and mistakes) from Scraab928. My plywood transom buiildup follows the slope of the top of the transom where Scraab928 followed the slope of the bottom and needed a shim. My builtup approximates the 15 degree (or so) slope of the average transom. I created a jack plate out of some 1/2" 6061 aluminum plate and angle iron bought at the local scrap yard. I designed it with a 10" setback. Should be enough. I got a 70 HP OMC outboard partly because I've always had good luck with OMC and partly because I could use a lot of the existing OMC stuff (controls, wiring, etc.). Obviously, all cables, wires had to be longer. I replaced the rack & pinion steering with a rotary that I found on ebay.
I've got a couple of weeks before water testing so I can't comment on that yet. I'll post pictures if anyone is interested.
People are always interested.
