Hey David,
If you plan on mounting some Four Strokes the R+R 3" setbacks are rated for the Verados.
Really nice brackets. Just sayin!

Ive removed my 2.5s, jackplates and inside brackets so that I can get the tunnel pods removed and reduced in size quite a bit, and also im changing the separation distance between the engines to bring everything in tighter. The goal is to lessen the air compression in the tunnel and stern lift that is taking place at top speed which has been preventing the set up from reaching its full potential.
Ive decided to stay with my beloved 2.5s. No verados in my near future

Nice David, Don't you know your supposed to be running the boat in the spring/summer months and doing that kind of stuff in the winter LOL!!!!
I have the same problem. Start too many projects and end up working on the boat versus just using it!!!!

It must be contagious. I just finished reworking my hub seals, carpet, knee kick pad upholstery, and wiring issues. Now back to my regular schedule and some CE Friday. Hopefully I can get out of the shop cleaned up and some photos for everyone this weekend. LOTO is going to be a must attend for everyone!!
