Good question! For the life of me I can’t find the thread. There are several pics in my gallery under an album named Mikey’s 211

Thank you for that,i made my bracket a bit smaller than that,i hope i dont regret it. Mikeys boat sits real nice in the water, im afraid of being a little ass heavy.Well remains to be seen,i assume the bracket is 30" im curious is the motor height 2.5 inches higher and did it work out good??

It is a 2.5” rise and it runs well mike. I am a little surprised it is not faster though. Runs 55 I believe. I saw another 21 with a 300 Yamaha that did 60. But the hull runs fine with the bracket.

I should explain the last 3 pics. The very last is a 21 that two men took out the Jupiter inlet on a bad day. They hit the breaker line in the wrong place and head on. Bow went straight up and boat went over backwards. Both were lost unfortunately.

The other two are of a car that rear ended the boat while turning into the ramp. Bracket had a scratch on it. Car not so lucky
