On the PD's maiden voyage we broke down a few hundred yards from the dock. So yes, this was a great one!

Cool. I'm a bit behind getting all my pics into the gallery, but this will promote me to get it done.
Picks of the bracket can also be found at http://www.wellcraftv20.com/communit...ad.php?t=12831 Set back on mine is 24". Swapping to a dual axle trailer Saturday and hoping to be back in the water very soon.

Different Bracket
Joe:
Thanks for the info, but the bracket I am looking at is different.. It is called a PortaBracket & it serves as a bracket & jackplate all in one.  The Porta Hydraulic Transom Bracket is a travelling parallelogram that combines the best features of two products. A simple transom bracket extends the motor off the back of the boat for stability and more room inside the boat - but cannot raise or lower the motor to find the "sweet spot" for performance, to accommodate shallow water fishing, or to provide motor protection raise-and-tilt. A simple hydraulic jack plate can raise or lower the motor a short distance (usually eight inches max) but does not offer the setback advantages of a transom bracket. With the Porta Hydraulic Transom Bracket you get both - the setback, with its advantages, and the vertical movement range - of 12" to 24" - much more than is offered by any hydraulic jack plate on the market. Unique is indeed the right word for this remarkable product. This is what I am going to use.. this gives me everything I need, a bracket and a jack plate so I can go into shallower bays.... I still would like performance numbers with the Optimax when you have time... Thanks, Thirdcoast
