Got my bracket on!!!!

[Finster]

Well, mines going a little slower. I have to redue the whole transom. Cut away a test area today and it wasn't too good.

Briguy,
Guess I can't see that boat on Saturday. Post pictures when you can, I see a bracket in my future also. As long as my transom holds up I hope to re-power and do a bracket at the same time $$$.

Hi Briguy,
Looking forward to seeing the pics of you new setup. As for me, having the transom built up about 5" to accomodate the twin 115s Suzukis on my 23'. Transom was okay so no major work. Took out the livewell and redoing side hatch area for batteries. Also taking some pics, hope to post later.

Serenety,

When you have your motors mounted on that 30" transom, make sure you go up 2 bolt holes. My motors were mounted on the lowest bolt hole with the 30" transom and I moved them up 2. They probably could have gone up 1 more. They like to run high. I used the aluminum 14x23"props.

Briguy,

A little more info please...what was the distance between the two motor's centerline? What was the vertical lenght from the hull bottom to the cutout on the engine's centerline? Is 30" from the lowest point of the hull? I'm going with a 25" long shaft. Sorry I'm getting off the subject of brackets.

Is the bracket on a CC boat or Sceptre. Please post some photos, very interested in seeing the results. Also let us know if it performs/ rides better.
I only have 225 FICHT on my 23' Sceptre and it still squatts down in the back with several fisherman and cooler full of fish. takes on water over the transom which is a pet peeve.

Lars - you have a Scepter with a single taking water over the transom? Is that 4 big guys on the transom?
