Iv been leaning towards a nauset marine riser as I have freshly painted my interior. Unless there is forum knowledge that I am unaware of that indicates differently. https://www.nausetmarine.com/custom-parts/boston-whaler-transom-riser/

I know my current 40 will tow an adult on a tube. Not certain about a 30. I know the previous owner of the motor and I bet the total hours without downloading it with the tool is less than the 2017. I’m betting less than 100 on my current motor. On the other hand I keep it in Buzzards bay and 80% of the time I use it I have to stay inshore or I would be beat to death by the sea state in a 13.

I am a tohatsu fan myself as I have a tohatsu on my dingy and my J/80 without any issue. But that’s probably because I strictly run SEF on both of those.
