Planning the Wild Finn rebuild

[Slightly_Twisted]

Phat, I'm kind of basing my rebuild off his. I've looked at his conversion so many times it did come out real nice!

Spare, when you do conversion for others where do you/they get the bracket. I've looked at gil, stainless, and Armstrong, but damn they are pricey! Just seeing if you a more cost affective source? I've herd great things and sea vee, Good build quality and ride.
It crazy out here you see 17-20 ft bass boats with 200-250s FLYING. One of my favorite things to do out on the lake is just cruising around watching the bass boat pounding the sh$& out of themselves at 50-70mph!

my friends usually find a used bracket, got to be patient, they still aren't cheap. The boat shops usually sell a new one to their customers when they redo a boat.

you can see where the motors and bracket are on the Sea Vee. Its higher than you want
edit: I went back and looked at the photo, this was very early after he built the boat and he was worried about getting enough water flow, the motors are in the lowest holes. He has the engines all the way up now(wants to raise it another inch). He could have probably run Laser or a similar prop and been a little more user friendly at this height. Those choppers don't like to run deep, they run best at the surface. Notice the platform cant be mounted any lower on that transom without protruding below the hull. Sometimes you just mount it where it fits







but, it will do this
