Few hundred in parts and a big ass welder is all you need. Its pretty easy.

You might PM gator22. I know he had a lot of transom work done on his boat for a SD. Hope this helps

I thought someone did this a while back. Contacted PD and had to get a different mid section and such.

Dont need a new tower. Just a spacer welded on the old one, a new teflon bushing, a spacer for the inside, and longer bolts for the lu.

 Re: Converting short transom to talll on pd
Just did mine, Took maybe two hours. While you have it apart check how much play the pin in the tower block has in it. Basically the pin that goes through the tower, trim arms, and mounting bracket. I am pulling mine back apart to have it machined for a bushing. I want to say the parts were less that 200 but not exactly sure.
