Skool, I thought you had better taste in motors. That Merc will do just fine for me. I am with Blue on this one.. What brand is the boat anyway it has some interesting lines.

I think all looks great!! I have a problem with the Black motor also, O well.

But my real issue is that motor & bracket looks low?? anything on a bracket IMO should be a 30" leg, these motors are way to low in the water and you need the 30 shaft to get them out.

I have a nice 4 stroke on my 23 Sea Ox and its to low also! The V20 I put bracket on for a 25 and it was to low.

Other wise Lumber better watch out cause this thing is going to be a thing of beauty!

I do agree with the 30" leg with a single on a big boat. Big waste of time to argue about what brand motor is better. I am happy with my Mercs, they are/were made in the USA and they haul a$$. I try to stay with US made goods whenever possible. Too many people love the Yamaha to ignore their prowess but it feels good to do the wrong thing sometimes.

Yeah, get more pics. I love the Carolina style boats. After I finish my Phantom 16 build I may tackle a Carolina boat.
