Who makes those motor mounts in your Kryptonite jdub?
I am referring back to the pictures on the first page of this thread...

I have a 2003 Checkmate ZT 260 that I am converting from the horizontal through bolted aluminum "L" brackets with the standard Mercury black engine pedestal mounts to solid offshore mounts. Mine boat originally had a 496. I am upgrading it to a new custom 565CI BBC.

Those mounts in the Krypto would make the conversion EZ for me as I could keep the horizontal aluminum L brackets instead using the traditional offshore mounts with vertical aluminum L brackets and drilling more holes through the wood stringers.

I am measuring 25-3/4" between my stringers.
The distance between my Mercury pedestal studs is 22-3/4"

How wide are those krypto mounts?

Thanks
