Thanks a bunch, you've given me enough to go on for now. I really appreciate it. I'll see what 1/2" angle costs locally, take some measurements of transom and motor, then sketch up some plans. I will post the sketch for final input and recommendations for the proper height. Will need until next week.
Last question before I hide in the mad scientist cave to sketch up my plans: if i use 3" x 3" angle 1/2" thick, setback will be around 4". Using the 2" setback = 1" of lift rule, that equals 2". So I should plan to raise the motor 3" (recall it is a 20" transom and a 25" motor) in relation to my old one?
