I've made a mental note several times when members post info that gives clues to their age. 
. Unfortunately, been of that age too, I've forgotten all those mental notes so instead, I just choose to believe I'm one of the younger guys.

Needed it as high as possible (w/running 25” motors) but didn’t want to get into the transom contours on the corners of the transom.
W/some fiddling, I got the propshafts right where I want them.
Hope to test float it next wk.
BTW, haven’t fogotten your manual for the 15 but it’s just the owners manual and won’t tell you much that you don’t already know.

Headway..............................
Heres some shots.
The bracket cleaned up and prepped for mock up.
Installed for mock up.
Glass work is not done yet but figured hanging a 1000lbs on it would be a good test of my design.
Ill gel it when done.
Next test is to fill the new fuel tank w/water and tow it to the local pond and see how it floats at rest w/all the changes and to determine where the weight goes.

Looking very nice.
For the 'float' test, you'll have to leave it overnight in filthy water so you will get a nice brown line all round it. Then you'll know exactly how high up you have to go with the antifoul........!
