Any Comments folks

"The Porta Hydraulic Transom Bracket is a travelling parallelogram that combines the best features of two products. A simple transom bracket extends the motor off the back of the boat for stability and more room inside the boat - but cannot raise or lower the motor to find the "sweet spot" for performance, to accommodate shallow water fishing, or to provide motor protection raise-and-tilt. A simple hydraulic jack plate can raise or lower the motor a short distance (usually eight inches max) but does not offer the setback advantages of a transom bracket. With the Porta Hydraulic Transom Bracket you get both - the setback, with its advantages, and the vertical movement range - of 12" to 24" - much more than is offered by any hydraulic jack plate on the market. Unique is indeed the right word for this remarkable product. "

That's freaky....very cool. Or would it screw up that poor welfare motor of mine??

Relax Finny, No wee-wee contest here I'm just jealous, as I wish I had 300 ponies pushing my 23.

Good Luck with her
