Got lucky a scored the bracket used in Chicago on my way back from picking up the boat. It’s very close to correct dimensionally. I have absolutely no clue what type of power it takes to get them moving for outboards. I do know that I will be about 1400lbs lighter or so than when there were blown bbc’s in place. I’m working on a budget myself. I could spend more but I’m thinking I should have the boat done with fresh promax motors for something in the 15k range. That depends on what I do for lower units and how much money I recoup selling the outdrives etc. I will post all kinds of pics and whatever info I can along the way.

What year is your boat? Is it AO or an Awesome?
