Can anyone point me to the right place to find the transom height? I believe it requires a 20" long shaft outboard - but want to be sure. Thanks for your help! Ken Ken Smith

Here is a members personal page showing the straight across the top transom as opposed to the earlier notched transom. http://www.whalercentral.com/infusion...r_id=11503
