Looks good.
Nice tight fit on the brack to the transom.
Are you going to delete the sculpers and drain to the bilge?

Thanks,
I am just making notes and getting ideas for when I do mine.
Are you going to put trim tabs on? when you do, post a pict, I would like to see the clearance.
What model armstrong bracket is that or is it a custom made?
Anyone done the calc of how much weight it adds to move the live well above the waterline or is it the same whether its in the floor at the waterline, or above it?

Yes I will be putting the Bennett tabs back on I will post some pics.
The bracket is an Armstrong "wide body" I am trying to counter the weight of a 4 stroke with as much flotation as I could find.
40 gal livewell at 6 LBs per gallon?
