Member Posts: 4 Comments: 0 Joined: 10/13/08	Hello! My name is Gabriele and I am from Italy. I am restoring a boston 13 I believe the boat is early 70's so she has the low transom (25 centimeters), I also have a 1995 Johnson 25 hp engine but the transom is too short for it, so I want to modify the transom but without structural modifies. Can you help me? Is there somebody who sells something like a little bracket? P.S. the engine is a endeavour, like the evinrude elan, and it has passing screws(is that right in English? ) can I make the engine ok for my transom by making it shorter? Excuse me for my English and thank you to everybody! Ciao!!!

I've also seen the mini jacker it seems pretty good too, but I don't know if it could work for my engine, i think i have to make some holes on it to fix the engine because it has passing screws.. Did anybody mount the mini jacker with an engine like mine? Thank you again and see you in the water if you will come in my neighborhood....
