... question: did you have to move the trailer axles any to compensate for center of gravity shift?? if so, approx. how much??
Steve, FYI - I had to move axle aft about 12" on my 20 to get adequate tongue weight, but I also added new motor that was over 100 lbs heavier. Wouldn't think you'd have to adjust the trailer that much on a 23.

With the same motor, this will be an interesting back-to-back test to determine performance benefits of a bracket! Should be able to raise that motor at least 3-4" or so relative to keel, from where it was on transom! I went up over 4" on mine and AV plate is still not quite out of the water as it should be when on plane.
