Thanks for the reply. I wouldn't remove the bracket later. If I put it on I'll build the transom up just like if I'm gonna keep it. And when I seel the boat it will all stay. Only change for the sale would be a motor swap, if I do run the 225.

I don't live in the country anymore. I don't have room here. Not even a shop, just a two car garage. Ole lady don't like the boat parts, jeep parts and motorcycle parts laying around so the bracket can just go with the boat. She even acting like she might wanna park in the garage one day! Smh
