I would be concerned about changing the center of gravity as well.

I think you need to contact BP and score a second SeaMark Bracket [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Two fat guys like me coupled with that bad azz Merc your center of gravity on that der Vette has just shifted from "Cat-a-Tonic" to "RocketMan"

BTW: My boat gets it's Seamark Bracket /Transom enclosed start next week.....
Chuck, I think your missing what I mean. Regardless how fat one is, the deck is where all that fatness rests. Raise the deck and raise the center of gravity. I could be wrong but my feeling is that even an 1" or 2" could make a difference in the boats handling. I am sure everyone thats done will tell me different, but I wouldn't do it to any of my boats.

And yes DH is already prepared for the second bracket[img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] That Gill bracket is a freak of nature, holy crap! Though I have to say the boat didn't sit as low as you would think with a 575lb. motor sitting back that far with no floation. Go figure.
