Went thru hull a couple of years after we got it and never looked back/had a problem. Far more expensive though. With that said, my current boat is only a 20 footer with a single engine and the transom mount works great.
Here's some insights:

Thanks! So, for fishing maybe B175HW for winni? I'm not that familiar with these but it seems with < 200' depth Wide would be almost necessary. If I want to map the bottom for fishing or diving then B285HW? Pricey though. Is that kind of external mount crazy in a sport boat? For the $500 difference I could probably buy sonar maps for winni :-).
