Default Re: Transom Bracket - twin outboards

Seacrafts run best with cav plate about an 1-1/2" above the hull bottom, additionally, Armstrong asks for 1" of rise for every foot of bracket setback...you do the math.

Finally, I'm with reelescape - ditch the foils. Use the the trim tabs for efficient planing and hull control.

Different props may help but I think the other three issues should be dialed in first. Good luck, and keep us posted.
That 1.5" inches where Seacrafts do so well is for transom mounted motors. For every foot of bracket, add 1 inch to the 1.5" above the hull starting point. So for a 30" setback bracket, your starting point would be having the bottom of the cavitation plate 3.5" above the hull.
