Wow. Yea never really thought about all the add ons. Good point. I had figured the motor was about 600 so that makes sense.
Anyways I went ahead and bought the bracket. The guy was over me "wasting his time". I have been stalling trying to make sure I wasn't wasting my time and money. If when I'm ready to mount a bracket if this is all I have I'll mount it, hang the motor and figure it out from there. But I really think taking minimum 500lbs off the back of the boat has to counter weight it some.
