Stainless Marine makes some nice ones. Call and talk to Jerry, he's the owner. Really nice guy, full of information and doesn't mind taking the time to talk to you.

The best one is a Porta Products bracket. I have had them in single and triple. Still have the twin install and these have all race boat stamina. Worth every penny.

Stainless Marine is my favorite and would recommended them based on my experience with them. What type of hull and what power?

I've got a triple Stainless Marine that will accommodate (3) 3 lt's or (4) 2.5's. This bracket was 5700 new. It is being powder coated white to look new. I will need to get $ 2000 for it.

I will post pics this week as soon as I get it back.

a project boat.... looking to do eco tours.... cigarette hull...39 long 9 wide. 3 deep... ill add pics soon as signal beefs up...
do u guys have any pics ? words don't do any justice here in the court of offshore... ( nice )
I looked at porta brackets, and im thinking it has to be kinda tricky to lift all the engines up at the same time, under power ( lets say 4-350) in some nasty weather running hard, tryna get home... or even constantly running them hard in seas....
I seen a video of a jack plate, ripped off the back of the boat.. V8 special... not a good day, if 4-350 go for a swim under power.... don't think no wire cud save um.,...
would u think individual jack plates would make sense on a bracket to adjust each motor differently or jus one, where all the engines move at one time....

If you are going to do tours and are not trying to squeeze every mph out of her, get a good bracket and mount the engines on it. I would not mess with the jack plates directly on the transom. If you are converting from an inboard make sure that you add some beefy knees.

The Porta Bracket is one piece with multiple pistons for multiple engines. It has no problems lifting multiple engines even in race conditions. I have broken most jack plates using my V8 outboard and ended up going to the Porta Bracket and never looked back. It also gives you X and Y dimension changes not just up and down. There was a 29' Extreme with one with an outdrive mounted to it. Stout piece of engineering.

Also there is less transom pull out as the mounting area is spread out rather that just the area of the engines mounting brackets.
