BS, has built at least 3 and they have all been as you describe, he has done it on Seacrafts the one he did for his self and one other he did a 30" shaft, and WOW what a difference, the boat performed better then the other andthe motor is out of the water!! Mine are 25 and the motor sits close to the water all the time and is a bit scary at times. If I was to do it I would go with a 30" and V the bottom same as boat, now making the boat a 22 footer instead of a 20 footer. Trim tabs this way might be able to be mounted on the bracket?? as it will be the rear of the boat now?? I am just thinking not sure if its doable, I will ask BS tomorrow
Here is one he made
Here is a thread of a build he did with pic from beginning to end came out great!
