Does 32 include the bracket?
Second hole from the top, propshafts are 1.5" below the hull

Mercury Mirage, have to check what the pitch is.

Alot for aboat that size, have to check on the exact number though

No, it is a 32' hull. Midnight also made a 30'

Just outside of Gainesville, FL.

We actually moved the whole bracket up when we took off the triple 2.5s, because there was two 20" and one 25". So in order to accomodate the new twin 25" engines we raised it up. With the triples setup it had chopper props, so the propshafts were set 1.5" above the hull surface.

Probably won't tweak the props to much. The goal of this project was to make it a more user friendly everyday fishing boat. Not really concerned with trying to squeeze every last ounce of speed out. Although I am sure she will be plenty fast.

Had the boat out for the second time this weekend. Performed much better with 21 pitch Mirage Plus and the engines one hole lower. Fuel mileage is great, about 1.6 to 1.7 at 33 to 35 mph. Still have some minor stuff to do like putting hinges on the hatch covers, but she is now useable and that makes it alot easier to work on during the week.

Its the original bracket that came with the boat in 1986. I believe it is called a B bracket.
