If I were to do it again, would probably build to 27" at center line which would put the bracket almost directly on the transom top surface at the lowest possible mounting position, plate close to 3/4" above the boat bottom. I have a 1974 20' SF with the typical small flat surface rather than straight to v bottom. I knew from past outboard experience that the real measurement for a 25" shaft is closer to maybe 26 1/2" mounted but was warned not to do what I knew I should. Lesson learned. If your going to add any metal trim, adjust accordingly, would be nice if someone were to actually measure a 25 transom. Mine is ok as I do have probably enough wiggle room but I have a friend who has a bad habit of backing into the swell, lol.
I absolutely agree with this. I built mine to 25 as well and I need to raise one more hole too which is the last hole for me too.
