if you don't already have the hull, i'd look for a center console model. what you are wanting to do sounds like too much sugar for a dime.

Yeah she needs ALOT of work. but this is a learning curve for me. I have access to glass & epoxy, ply pretty cheap. And my girlfriend likes the idea of a project that keeps me at the house. Little does she know how much Ill be in the house once the fun begins

Oh and the hull is free with a nice 2006 loadrite trailer, Ill be picking it up either way for the trailer, just didnt want to take the hull to the dump

For the most part brackets are custom made to a hull,its not just the curve that is the issue,the deadrise of the bracket,height at which the motor will mount,amount of flotation built into the bracket are all going to be engineered specifically to the hull on which it is to be mounted.
There is such a thing as a gill bracket but they offer no flotation which would likely be an issue. "Stainless marine" brackets may be another option that may be a slightly more generic fit, I have never looked into them personally but did own a hydra sport with one on,they are not as wide as say an "Armstrong" bracket.
I know there have been a few guys on here that added brackets,hopefully they can add some advice.
