My motor measures 22 in vertically from the bottom of the bracket to the cavitation plate.

My transom is 19-7/8 in measured along the transom and ~19-1/4 in measured vertically.

My Suzuki manual specifies the anti-cavitation plate should be located 0 to 1 in. below the bottom of the boat, which is what led me to adding the bracket.
Mystery solved, thanks! I'm in about exactly the same boat, except I got away without the transom riser by bolting the engine on the transom. With the clamps alone I ran out of room to raise it.
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.
