To go OB on a bracket you would need to get a 'floatation' bracket and not just a bracket that sets the engine back. This will help distribute the weight at rest and while up to speed....it actually acts like a hull extension to a point.
The link for craigslist doesnt work, but I have a late 80's 200 Black Max on a regular transom and best I have seen is 53mph on GPS
