So I ordered the plans on PDF ($10.00) so I have all the measurements etc and have a question about setbacks.
Is there a big difference in setbacks when using a JP's, going 4", 5" or even 6"?
These plans call for adding a thick motor mount for various reasons (piston/PTT, if wanted) and when added I believe the setback will be at or around 6" from the transom.
Not using the wood would reduce that to about 4.75" I believe.
Just wondering if there is any reason not to set the motor back 6"?
Thanks again,
