You are the man. He did just that. JOE purchased a 150 Optimax for $11,000 something. He is on vacation this week. Last week he installed the bracket. Next week the motor arrives. I am somewhat glad he didn't listen to me. I now feel 500 lbs is a bit too much weight for the bracket on one of these as you know what I have been up to.
Check out his thread on the bracket install and Bit the bullet on the motor.
