Particularly shallow water. Did anyone watch the videos?
I watched the videos...all of them.

It is my understanding, as some have already stated in here, that your low water pickup essentially creates a surface drive. Albeit with a skeg. I could see the benefits of a high HP outboard being used as a surface drive to access skinnier water.
 
It’s not complicated, people just make things way too difficult. I’m booked up for installs for a while now. I have a customer dragging his skiff 18 hours from Colorado tomorrow to get this system, a Hull Marine Products Nano jackplate, a custom three blade triple cupped prop and a TranSport CP-100 compression plate installed.
I don’t have as much time to type any more. My system is self explanatory and the videos show everything.
Have a nice winter!
 
I was wondering about how the PT&T might work with that set up. Do you recommend the hydraulic trim tabs?

I had the same question (see posts #19 & #21). Of course the outboard will tilt, but I still question how effective the "trim" function would be with the prop just below the surface. Hence trim tabs that can be adjusted underway seem like a possible "good to have" to me. But honestly, I don't know.
