Yes i believe a 25 is just not going to be quite enough, i was already looking into the idea of an extension bc that would be the easiest solution. I woulld have all the old bolt holes filled in for sure. the old motors should be off in a week or so then ill be able to figure out more on this bracket bc im almost positive that some parts of it are aluminum.

I will have to keep an eye out for the bote when Im down that way. Looks like it is a sweet hull from the limited view.
I would have a hard time thinking there is any aluminum in that bracket but I could be wrong. The aluminum vs Fiberglass ones both have different build styles and that one is defiantly built like and fiberglass. I would want a fiberglass over an aluminum anyhow and that is coming from someone that builds and welds aluminum parts. There are pros and cons up here vs the two on other threads. It wouldn't be to bad to cut down the mounting ear or notching it like mentioned. I have seen that done with success and I have even cut a few inches off of the ear on a twin dusky fiberglass bracket myself to make it work with a single 25"leg. But a simple bolt on extension would be the easiest route plus it would keep the power head further out of the water also. You will like the way the boat rides better with the lighter single for sure though.
