Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: 1964 13' transom adapter

Has anyone had any luck with raising the transom to fit a 20" shaft motor?
I was looking at the aluminum style from Kemtfab. I plan on re-powering the old girl and put new style steering cables also?
Any feed back would be appreciated

Hi DW - if you put the string below into your favorite search engine it will point you to lots of information:

You could also try searching for kentfab. Good luck!

Instead of the adapter, you could install a mini jack plate to give you the added 5 inches.

The boat would not be muddled, less cost and a DIY.

The Kent Fabrications adapter is $435
Jackplate is $195

Bob's Machine Shop is well regarded by Whaler owners. Review this and give them a call and they can steer you in the right direction.
