Thanks Bushwacker!
The 5 degrees is only for the bulkhead; if I make a bracket, where the motor mounts will stay at 12 degrees.

I read your post on Brackets-pro and con. And every other thread!
After owning and fishing a few cutout 25" transom boats. I would really feel safer with the full transom.
Since I'm redoing the whole boat anyway, I can move a lot of weight forward.

Do you think a hull extension will help with the Cog balance at speed, compared to a regular bracket, where the tub is raised up a few inches?

I'm thinking besides the static flotation, the extension will help lift the rear a bit while running.

I'm not so concerned with top speed, since most days I'm running in 2-3' chop.
So So the supposed speed benefit of the raised tub, isn't as much a factor for me.
