Yes Phester it would. But with the armstrong bracket it is set 1" high for every foot back off the transom the bracket runs. I n my case it sits 30" back so it is supposed to be about 2.5" higher. Mine is approx 4-4.5" high. With the heavier engine that 2.5" would likely be a moot point because the stern would sit lower, but with a 1999 115 4cyl and the positive flotation that bracket gives those 2.5" are causing problems
