well gents,
after running the V this summer with plenty sucess. it is now time to fix the weak points. obviously weak points will appear when you hang over 700 pounds off a transom that was designed for an outdrive. i will post pics of the cracks saturday if anyone is interested.

200 FICHT is close to 500 pounds, and that twin engine bracket weighs close to 200 pounds. So 700 sounds about right.

yep youre right on ferm, the bracket is 217 on the scale and the published weight of the ficht is 532 = 749. yep if i didnt have trim tabs the V's would have a miserable ride.
