Post 20 inch transom with gd long tail??
I have a 1644 Go Devil boat with a 23 longtail on it. I recently purchased a high transom GatorTail. My plans are to swap back and forth between the two motors because of refuge restrictions and the GatorTail being to big. Anyway my boat is a 16 inch short transom and I will build it up to 20 inches for the GatorTail. My question is: Anyone have any experience running the longtail on a 20 inch transom?

CoCo at go devil said that I can cut off my cavitation plate and for 65 bucks they will sell me one to have welded on that is at a different angle. He said I may lose a mile or two in performance. Have anyone done this? How did it work?

Then you run the risk of maybe having it welded at the wrong angle, then be in the same boat.
Not worth it IMO, but hey, whatever works for you
