I am looking at putting a 20hp LT on a Grizzly 1542 with a 19" transom. Do yall think it would work or should I be looking for a short transom boat. I am very new to the mud motor world and knew you fellas could shed some light for me. Thanks, Clent

if you already have the boat, its pretty common practice to cut down a tall transom to fit a short transom motor. any boat builder can do it for you

I thought it was a tall transom, it is actually 15". I don't have the boat yet, just looking. If it was in my budget, I would rather have a GD 1644. I only have about $2800 to spend on this project so I am piecing a rig. I would not be in mud that often but would be in shallow, salad type areas. Thanks for the input.

I have a gdlt 16 hp for sale for $1200 if youre interested. it needs to go
