nice picks from the net...
any one heard of or seen a Mac with a "off shore bracket"

My trick was to pull my M out of the water all the way to top of the ramp, draining ballast on the way up then i used the stern lines to tie the boat to the trailer, backed the works back into the water(of course a less busy ramp is most friendly for this action) the boat floated the trailer, i tigh...

well, I for one liked the story. After returning from my around the world cruise in my V W van I decided to check and see if the captain throws his X mate in with her new lover, fire up the motor and leave them to the shark. But NO. I guess ill check on the story if I can remember too next time I wo...

First thank you for responding.
You bet ill let you know what i come up with ,i think its a good idea ,why cant you chip a 70 to a 90
same body,same everything except soft wear right ?? i will find out. confluence

Anyone ever heard of anybody chipping a 70a up to a 90 ???? confluence

tell the story no one likes this much suspense : cant wait are we at 500 yet| confluence

What is a Billy Box ?? confluence

Great ideas THANK YOU. Any other and all comments welcomed
Now off to get the angles and find the right bracket. confluence

Seahouse, Do you know any of the specs for the transom? or where I could get ahold of them? confluence

Thanks , I did confuse the author sorry. However your input is very helpful. Yeah its going too be an extensive project, but worth it I think. The COMADOR is on board with this mod( or would be if its easier to get on and off the dock) confluence

Jimmyt, just how beefy is the transom on the M ? I'm sure backing plates are a must, but how much do i need to add to be sure the load distributed appropriately I do plan on supporting the bracket all along the top edge GUYS has this been done or am i " braking water " here :macm: confluence

Grady,
taking into account what you said about the center of gravity. Do you think it would help off set the bracket if i used the forward flotation hold for fresh water tank ?
( keeping the foam in the boat of course ) confluence

sweet lets get 5 others i am ready!
I am very interested in what you have dug up in your research
do you know the degree angle the M has hull to transom ?
and how far back would you push your big motor? confluence

thanks for the reply you are the first to respond since my joining this forum
I was planning on using the floatation kind of bracket. have you ever heard of anyone doing this confluence

Moving outboard back GOOD or BAD ?? http://www.dusky.com/static/sitefiles/p ... s/dds2.jpg
Do any of you think the transom wont hold up to the added pressures. I have Suzuki 70 hp
