Glad to see this Jack.

What hole from the top is the motor mounted in now?

Sound's like your on the right track.

Thanks for the compliments guys – still have a bunch of work to do. Next major undertaking will be removing the cap, re-core/repaint, new S.S. rubrail and mount all flush/recessed hardware/lights. That will be sometime in the winter. I have missed enough fishing this summer to start that now. AND epoxy is no fun to work with in 90+ degree heat..

Warthog – I have one hole left at the top of the engine bracket so it should drop about 1 inch. I know the standard is 1 inch up for every 1 foot back as far as brackets go.
I sure hope that does it. I never had any problems with the prop blowing out (aeration) before but now in turns and when trimmed up even the slightest amount it aerates.

The ONLY other change was mounting the B-60 xducer and a water pickup but they are well to the sides of keel.

Will try and drop the motor tonight and test run this weekend.
