... Plans are for a bracket.

If you are doing twins or are handy with the torch, I think Dana at Millway has some old brackets. Both have the swim platform and are set up for twins. Dana thought that filling the holes, either with bolts and 5200 or with a torch would not be bad. Price was a bit high but much less than a new bracket, even a single.

I am going to ping warthog on the classic mako site and see how his twin DF140s are treating him (and ask him why he went with twins in this day and age...) I actually prefer twins, but I don't think there is a logical reason to do twins (worse gas miles, can't plane a 23 on single DF140, more money on motors, if anything goes wrong on a 4s it is gas related which screws up twins too, etc.)

I was going to suggest the petit epoxy easypoxy primer (6149?) for the bilge. I think epoxy does not let water through. If I had cash I'd get one of those hermco brackets, those things are the bomb. Actually, if I had cash, I would have hermco do the whole thing who am I kidding? Anyway, you build looks like it is coming along really well.
