PS the new 130 Etec is a V4 and may save some weight, there not out yet but you don't look like your hanging a motor in the next couple weeks either

These new DFI motors are quite a bit stronger than the old carbed jobs we were used to, plus the Etec's seem to be all pushing the 10% rule, meaning close to 10% more HP than stated.
I watched BW's boat pull away at the FT Desoto and admired how very well balanced the boat looked, maybe the bracket maybe not?
