30 INCH SETBACK ??

Doesn't anyone make a bracket for a V20 with less of a setback than that?

I love the idea of a full transom and a bracket, but I would not want my motor set back 30 inches for 2 reasons.

1) You change the trim of the boat quite a lot when you move that much weight and torque back 2.5 feet on a 20 foot boat.

2) The motor can submerge much more easily when it is setback 2.5 feet on a 20 foot boat. This is basic see-saw physics, and I don't believe the flotation in a bracket will prevent this in heavy seas.

If I were doing the full transom/bracket deal - I would look for the least setback available, and then hang a 30 inch shaft on it.

My v21 has about a 10 - 12 inch setback and a 25 inch shaft, and IMHO that is pushing the envelope.
