looking for outboard brackets for 2x 250 HP

[jef]

prefer gil marine brackets.

I would suggest going with an aluminum bracket made in more recent times, as the steel Gil tubular style hasn't been sold in many, many years. In other words, your not going to find any. Not to mention, the Gils were made in three different "rises", or heights...and in varying transom angles, some with different transom bolt pattern plates, and all of them rusted away at the welds & inside. I know, I bought about a hundred of them back in the day. One of the many advantages to the modern day aluminum brackets, is that they provide static flotation, while the boat is at rest, or idling.

I've got two of them available still on my boat in good shape..

Here are a couple of very good ones. Your choice of colors. Both companies can handle monster outboard motors weights.

bracket looks great but i have a deep V i think these are for a cat ?

I would call them and tell them what you need. I bet they can build you something suitable for your DeepV.

give them your requirements like:

* set back length
* rise sequence (e.g. for every foot you need a 3 inch rise)
* engine manufacturer
* color preference
* request pricing
* build time


The beauty about these two manufacturers in particular is that the brackets are adjustable (up& down) so that you can fine tune to your engine height requirements

...First met Scott & installed his products in 1982. He came out with his transom jacks, for any number of outboards, about the same time.
