Thanks guys....that's exactly the kind of discussion I wanted before I start sawing MDF....

Here's some outlines....My question is should the anticavitation plate be above the bottom of the bracket. I know on the brackets that angle up you can mount the motors higher and not hide the prop behind the bracket, but on a bracket that follow the line as the boat's keel all the way back it seems like I shouldn't get the anticavitation plate above the bottom of the bracket....just like on the boats transom. I can get the motors higher by moving them out from the center somwhat which I'm doing. So the red line is the motor and cav anticav plate; the orange line is the bracket's transom, blue lines show spacing in inches....I threw it together and it's not square....when I draw the pattern on a drawing board it will be.....
