Looks like the bottom bolts and washers have plenty of room in the splashwell. That is 7 1/4" vertical spacing, correct?

You are correct Joe. I did cheat the entire pattern up 1/4" though. But it now shows that with a proper jig at the 7 1/4" pattern you will hit inside the splashwell right where it starts to curve.

Looks great. So, you could still lower the engine 1 hole if it was absolutely necessary, correct?

Absolutely, the original plan was to mount 1 hole up. But while mounting I realized how low it had been and decided to go 2 holes up. I left all my options open.

Where did you get the plate for the upper transom bolts?

Bass Pro I believe. I got it on one of those trips just wandering around looking at things. I made a stainless one for my 13' Whaler but liked this one alot. That Honda is heavy and I like the thought of distributing some of that weight.
