27 Flybridge conversion from I/O to Outboard

[3rdday]

Here are a couple of photos.
I need opinions;
One pic- the one with the rear (engine side) of the bucket angled down is flush mount.
The other pic is with the bucket almost straight out. I would be able to shim the bucket.This would bring the engine higher out of the water but still in effective operating range.
In either case the engine will be able to be moved in operating range. Large Hydraulic Jack Plate.

Im asking because I dont like the appearance of the back angled down, but this is how they fit on a dusky also. The advantage of this would be more of the bucket submerged offering more flotation.
