Bracket manufacturers

[macojoe]

Well I have done the deal!! I have a stainless bracket with full swim platform.
It is a 28" set back, When I installed the bracket I measured 25" up from the bottom of the boat, and mounted it.
I have installed a 1989 Yamaha 175hop at a weight of 380# and a 25" shaft.

If you don't get the 28" or better you will never be able to lift a V6 outboard fully out of the water!! And if you are sliped or moored that means some of the motor will be in the water at all times!

Not only does the boat out perform the I/O
I also have no problems with the motor going under!!~ even in 6 foot seas!

As far as the trim is concerned, I can trim it just fine and I belive better then the I/O!!

The only problem and I don't see it as a problem is it does not turn in as tight of a circle as it did when it was a I/O

Don't take my word for it, Ask CB, he has been in the boat a few times.
BS, has also saw the boat going thur the water first hand.

As far as the leanth, you are going to add, in my case 28" + at least 12" for the motor + the boat is already 20' 6" so I am at 23' 10" at ths point, so they would charge you for a 24 footer
