How are you going to mount it? The room is very limited. are you running duel motors?

[ls1fst98]

the op is. not me.

with this wreck that your showing. I think the hull would have ripped apart with stronger stingers. From the scratches that are on the side of your hull I think your lucky with what you have left.

This one may fit. See how the top is tapered?

I am planning on locating the motor mounts just forward of the 2nd step. They will be 1/4 thick aluminum machined to fit the sponsons in cross section from top of tunnel down. Machine motor mounting holes then hog out the rest leaving .06 thick wall on one side. The perimeter and around motor mount holes will be full thickness. to which I will alum epoxy bond a .06 thick aluminum skin to form the hollow mount. This will be directly fed water by a pickup at the bottom and have it's own outlet at the top outside of the mount. Just holes drilled after mount is installed. No hoses needed.

Yes twisted, the last one is the style needed and that I am looking for in 3/16. Running counter rotating twins. many more prop choices in 3/16 for CR than 1/4.

that is true but you could turn don the shafts to 3/16 as I did.

Well when I checked fit of the stingers to transom it looked like it would be difficult to get them mounted low enough. And the mount plate would look too large and out of place. So I opted for the 3/16 version 3 with the smaller mounting area. Bonus though these are longer than the version 2.
