Thanks Joe. I'll check it out.

I've always had my motors mounted with the anti ventilation plate level with the bottom of the boat. The higher you go, less drag. If I go up 1 1/2 inches will there be a problem with cavitation?

Could I go up 2 holes on the bracket, take it our and test it with two through bolts, before I start drilling the bottom ones? Is the transom stong enough?
