If you wouldn't mind sending a picture I would appreciate it. I wish I would have found this website four months ago when I got started on this project. I've asked around and guessed at a lot of this stuff, but from the other guys' pictures it looks like I've gotten pretty close.
I saw that you have a 250 Yamaha on yours, what's your best cruise? You said that you top out in the mid forties. I hoped that I would be able to cruise at 30 and I wasn't sure if the 250 would do that for me so I opted for the 300. I was going with a single and I haven't ever heard of anyone complaning of too much HP.
You recommended the Hermco bracket. I hadn't heard of them. I was planning on going with Stainless Marine, but I'm afraid that I'm not going to be able to get one with the swim platform as I have a rounded, bumped out transom

Stainless said they could do it, but if it's going to be a custom fit that my bracket would be $4500 versus $1950. I want the platform, but I dont know that it's worth another 2 grand. Thoughts?
