One man's trash is another man's treasure. I wanted the full transom when I was shopping. Found out the 2120 is only made with a cut transom. I couldn't be happier with it. I've had water in the floor only twice, both times due to big fish being landed by three big guys, all in one corner of the stern. I've tried backing down into whitecaps and serious bay chop and the rear end bobs like a cork. I've never been really worried about being swamped in this boat like I was in my center console. I know it could happen, but I keep an eye on things. It's nice to know I can dump a lot of water FAST out of the notch when I need to. Maybe if I had a full transom 2320 I'd probably feel differently about it, but I'm still very pleased with the 2120 and the notch. I can run a fishing rod around the engine fairly easily and the boat's a breeze to spray out when on plane. I even removed the splashwell guard because I saw no real benefit to keeping it. I do miss the ability to have a transom fish box- a big cooler is always easy to clean though. Any other folks with good things to say about notch transoms? Am I out on a limb with this? | ||||
