    When considering small jon boats/duck boats there's always the short transom vs. long transom question, with a short being 15" and a long being 20". What advantage/disadvantage does one have over another?

    And yes, this will count towards your average.

    A lot like the old Wannabe... except with fewer bad words. And Karate chop action. But, yes, still purtier than you.

    Well on a duck boat the short transom is better for the go devil\mud buddy motors, but if I had a choice I'd go for the higher transom. Just me tho

    I always thought the tall was just to keep the waves from washing over as much as on a short. That's what my daddy told me anyway.
