[QUOTE="Whoopbass, post: 325674, member: 2243"] Looks almost identical to the one I built. The issue I had with mine is that all I could get was 3" angled aluminum. I figured it would be ok but after I mounted the outboard and lowered it the transom clamp screws hit the transom before I could get it lowered enough. It would work fine if I built it for a long shaft or jet motor but I was just trying to raise the motor some and give it some set back. I ended up removing the stock screws and using some bolts that tightened down using an allen wrench. I don't think there was any performance gained and having to reach back a few extra inches was sort of a pain so I ended up removing it. It did look good on the back of the boat though...... Nice job =D> [/QUOTE]
