Helps if flanged stainless bushings are laminated into the motor board too for the mounting holes

Local shop responded and are on it.

Good for you Gary.

Are you doing 20'' motors what's your offset from the transom 16 or something.

25" motors, 20" setback.

[Cary 29]

Too funny Gary, I'm doing 20" motors with a 25" setback...

[Cary 29]

You think that setback is ok for me being the boat is 30'?

If the bracket is already being built, I'm sure it's fine.

If not, I'd probably go 30"+.
Think of C. Of G.
Youre loosing a big block and drive (stock configuration) and net is about 800 lbs less. Based on 550 lbs per.

The Mrs just found this pic of the 2nd Sonic right after I got it back in the water. Notice no pad for (newly built) sun lounge, orig upholster etc.

Funny part is..., those motors are the ones I sold Paul, that I just bought back for the Convincor.

[Cary 29]

Nice picture Gary, looks great. Those motors will be Awesome on the Checkmate.

[Instigator]

No turning back now 😳

Had a guy tell me with the 25'' motors the power heads are like barn doors being so high up.

Nope, they run fine with 25” mids and the extra height keeps the powerheads from dragging through the water at idle speeds:

I've done it both ways and my strong preference are 25's and experienced zero negatives.
