Shine is probably right, the boat will not ride well as the proven factor design. I would like to see some one do this modification just so I could see how it turns out. I have thought about making a euro transom for my 23' cc but would only go back about 30 inches or so. This would be similar to a bracket but would be all one piece and made to the boat with stringers extended all the way to the rear of the extension. Anything over 2' feet or so would probably cause some issues. I think that the bracket would give the motor cleaner water for the prop but the euro would give the boat a better span over the water with the extra length being used vs out of the water with the bracket. The 4' you mention would be too much with the narrow beam but if you wanted to still do a length mod I would go shorter if you wanted to attempt still doing this. I am afraid to do this myself and you would make a nice guinea pig but there seems to be many more cons than pros but if it worked out well you would have one cool rig! There is just to many ways for it to go wrong for me to try it with out someone else first doing it. It may not work as well on a seacraft as it did on the makos that have been done. Also the guys that have done this clam it to be great but hard to go by their opinion. They might be bias and if you think about it they might not talk crap about their work if it turn out to ride like crap. You might be better off looking for a 27' seacraft super fish. Not many out there but you know that it would ride like a dream.
