Hi Tris, Yea the problem tends to be in a close chop the bow will plow the wave face because the center of gravity is too far forward. The hull was designed to be a center counsel that is a bit more towards the rear.
I am sure my boat will ride better once the bracket is installed.

hope it will ride better mike. it just seems to me more flotation would make the bow dip foward when baot is still in the water. thats the last thing i want more standing water in the cockpit.maybe i shuold buy that 27' seamaster what a fn boat!

I have been looking around for measurements on a design for a bracket similar to the single engine Hermco.

does anyone have the measurements by chance because i have read so many different idea's on how much higher
the motor should be mounted once the bracket/pod is installed.I will have a 75-90hp long shaft mounted when done
so the normal mounting would be at 20inch but i am confused as to what height it should be once the pod is mounted.

i have been toying with the idea of building mine to extend 60cm/23inch from the existing transom so i can get some deck space
and add some extra flotation with the added pod.

thanks
