As far as weight the fuel tank has approx 1/4 tank, oil tank is in the rear, other than the center console the only weight up front is what ever the boat it self weighs. No I do not have Trim tabs, the weight distribution from port to starboard is really good even when the weight is unbalanced the boat doens't favor one side or the other. After doing a little online research it's seems I might need a wedge to fix the bow hop but I might be able to fix it with adjustments in the jack plate, I haven't checked. As far as the flotation on the bracket I don't have exact measurments with me but it is about the same size as all the other single motor mount brackets I've seen. One idea I had but I don't know that it will work is to have two aluminum boxes fabricated and put one on either side of the the main flotation. Only problem is I can bolt it and seal it or have it welded like it was always there, but then I would have to take the whole bracket off and remount it. Something I would really like to avoid if at all possible.
