Thinking about installing a CMC PT-130 but it soulnds like it might be a little big because it carries up to 130 hp motor. Has anyone ever used this product? Just wondering if it will make the boat sit funny....it has a 5 or 6" set back. Does this effect the handeling any? Thanks for any info Bart Bart Rasper

You can mount your engine a couple inches higher, because of it. Better fuel economy, etc. Edited by DesertSport on 03/02/09 - 7:40 PM
