Default Porta Bracket- need feed back

So here is what I'm thinking, alot of people tell me I get in trouble when I think to much, but here it goes. You can see pics of my boat under 20' seacraft galleries. I currently have a Galleymaid flotation bracket w/ 29" of set back from the Transom and then I have a bob's manual jackplate that is reversed so that I have an aditional 3" of set back from the bracket. Mounted on the jackplate is a Yami HPDI 200 that weighs in at 466 lbs. My thought is to remove the jackplate and the bracket and install a Porta barcket (www.portaproducts.com )it is a non flotation bracket that would move the motor approx 15" forward/towards the transom and I would also gain 12" of vertical lift at the push of a button. There is three objectives I'd like to get out of making this change 1. Looks 2. Move the motor closer to the transom 3. Remove all that extra weight from the transom when trailering. O.K. there's four, 4. I get 12" lift at the push of a button. Porta Products also makes a bracket with 21" setback and 17" lift. ANY THOUGHTS!
