. . . I am thinking about going with a full transom with a bracket.

I am sure that someone has lived through this before! Any suggestions?
You picked a heavy motor, so you'll need a bracket with maximum flotation, like a Hermco, to keep it self bailing at rest. Was talking to Don Herman last week and he's considering making the flotation tank even wider to handle the heavy 4-strokes. Suggest you contact Don to see if he can fix you up with one of those! Also consider rebuilding that transom with a composite core to reduce weight back there.
